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 August 19, 2020, found no deficiencies during an offsite surveillance survey focused on COVID-19 infection prevention and control. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication administration, resident evaluations and service plans, fire safety, and staff training, with some issues dating back several years. A substantiated complaint in October 2016 involved failure to report incidents such as a bed bug infestation and lapses in fire extinguisher inspections, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and no license suspensions or fines were noted. The facility’s recent clean inspections suggest improvement in compliance compared to earlier years when multiple deficiencies were cited.
