Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 4, 2025, found deficiencies related to medication management, including a substantiated complaint that a resident missed prescribed doses and the facility lacked a policy for handling medication shortages. Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance, with a prior renewal in March 2024 confirming substantial compliance and a March 2023 renewal noting a deficiency in service plans regarding bedside assistive devices. The main issues across reports involved medication handling and documentation of resident care plans. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests isolated issues with medication policies amid generally compliant inspections over time.
