Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on May 29, 2025, found deficiencies related to medication administration, personal privacy, assistance with activities of daily living, and food safety. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, including a February 27, 2025, complaint investigation where the facility was cited for failing to report an allegation of abuse within required timeframes. The main themes of deficiencies involved resident care issues such as medication and ADL assistance, as well as food service and privacy concerns. Complaint investigations included a substantiated case of delayed abuse reporting, which led to staff suspension and education, but most other allegations were unsubstantiated. The facility has taken corrective actions and provided staff education, though deficiencies have appeared in recent inspections without a clear pattern of improvement or worsening.
