Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, showing the facility generally maintained compliance with regulations and a clean, organized environment. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about inadequate dementia care, falsified medical records, and improper billing. However, some deficiencies were cited over time, primarily related to medication management and supervision of residents with wandering behaviors, including a serious finding in September 2025 where the facility failed to supervise a resident who eloped, posing an immediate health and safety risk. The most recent report from October 17, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies and determined the complaint was filed against the wrong facility. This suggests some improvement after earlier issues, though there is no clear overall pattern in the facility’s compliance history.
