Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Maine average: 10 inspections
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Maine average: 3 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on November 25, 2025, found the facility in compliance during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed deficiencies related to physical plant maintenance, such as malfunctioning call bell audio alerts and pet odors in common areas, as well as issues with medication administration records documented in a prior complaint investigation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case involving incomplete medication administration records, while others were unsubstantiated. The pattern suggests some ongoing challenges with maintenance and documentation, with no clear indication of improvement or worsening over time.
