Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 2, 2021, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with most reports free of violations but the March 9, 2021, inspection citing deficiencies related to the lack of a secured outdoor space for memory care residents and medication management issues, including unattended medication cups and failure to discontinue a medication as ordered. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the March 2021 case, which was substantiated with those cited deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior issues, as the latest inspection was clean following the earlier deficiencies.
