Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on September 17, 2025, had no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to abuse prevention, reporting failures, and care planning issues. Several complaint investigations from mid-2024 through 2025 cited deficiencies involving failure to protect residents from abuse and inadequate reporting of allegations, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, with no deficiencies found. The inspection history shows some improvement recently, with the last two inspections in September 2025 free of deficiencies after a period of cited issues.
