Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility generally meeting regulatory standards for resident care, safety, and staff training. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or unfounded, indicating that many concerns raised were not confirmed. However, there were a few substantiated deficiencies, including a medication error in July 2025 where untrained staff administered medication incorrectly, and a serious incident in April 2025 when a resident ingested a toxic substance left unsecured, resulting in harm and civil penalties. The most recent report from October 28, 2025, cited a deficiency for failing to secure exterior doors and alarms, leading to a resident elopement and a $500 fine. While these issues highlight some lapses in medication management and environment safety, the facility’s record shows improvement in other areas, and the majority of recent inspections have been free of deficiencies.
