Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised were not supported by evidence. The most recent report from September 30, 2025, was a complaint investigation with no deficiencies found. Earlier annual inspections identified some minor safety issues, such as unsecured cleaning supplies and insufficient non-perishable food supplies, but these did not result in fines or enforcement actions. A complaint investigation in November 2022 substantiated two deficiencies related to restricting residents’ rights to leave the facility and receive visitors, but no further enforcement was noted. Recent reports show improvement with no new deficiencies, and the facility appears to maintain compliance with regulations over time.
