Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 28, 2025, found all previously cited deficiencies corrected with no new deficiencies identified. Earlier inspections revealed multiple deficiencies related primarily to dietary service issues, such as improper food preparation and storage, as well as failures in providing required transfer and bed hold notices for hospital transfers, and incomplete care planning for psychotropic medication use. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated case in 2020 involving resident abuse, which resulted in employee termination and criminal charges; no enforcement actions or fines were noted in the available reports. Life Safety Code surveys showed compliance in recent years, though there were fire safety deficiencies identified in 2023 that were not repeated later. The facility’s inspection history shows correction of cited issues over time, indicating improvement in compliance with regulatory requirements.
