Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 5, 2024, found no deficiencies during the complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mix of issues, including missing employee physical exams and background checks, incomplete fire drills, lack of staff and resident records, and noncompliance with building codes resulting in a stop work order and a fine. Prior deficiencies also involved staff training and certification gaps as well as medication refill delays affecting resident care. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for a few substantiated cases related to staffing documentation, safety drills, and facility maintenance. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement following previous findings.
