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 April 8, 2025, was a complaint investigation in which no deficiencies were identified and the complaint was not substantiated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of regulatory deficiencies primarily related to medication administration, food service permits and safety, infection control training, and resident file maintenance. Prior complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, and no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. Deficiencies often involved documentation issues, staff training gaps, and compliance with health and safety protocols. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement compared to earlier reports that noted multiple deficiencies.
