Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations unsubstantiated, reflecting generally good compliance. The most recent report from September 11, 2025, was clean with no deficiencies cited after a complaint investigation. Earlier reports noted minor issues, including one substantiated finding in August 2025 where staff did not consistently assist a resident with showers, and a training deficiency in March 2024 involving one staff member not meeting annual training requirements. There were no fines, enforcement actions, or severe findings reported at any time. The facility’s record shows improvement and stability, with recent inspections free of deficiencies and complaints mostly unsubstantiated.
An unannounced complaint investigation visit was conducted in response to a complaint received on 2025-03-07 regarding allegations of staff not ensuring residents' needs were met, not seeking medical attention, not safeguarding personal belongings, and not issuing a refund.
Findings
The investigation found no substantiated evidence supporting the allegations after interviews with staff and residents and record reviews. The alleged violations were deemed unsubstantiated and no deficiencies were cited during the visit.
Complaint Details
The complaint included four allegations: staff did not ensure residents' needs were met, did not seek medical attention for a resident, did not safeguard a resident's personal belongings, and did not issue a refund to a responsible party. All allegations were denied by interviewed staff and residents, and evidence reviewed confirmed resolution of the refund and safeguarding issues. The complaint was unsubstantiated.

The facility took appropriate actions regarding resident altercations and medication adjustments.
Complaint Details
