Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 9, 2025, found that previously identified construction deficiencies had been corrected and no further action was needed. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of construction-related issues, especially with fire safety equipment maintenance and building code compliance, as well as resident care deficiencies related to supervision and medication management. Inspectors cited problems such as malfunctioning fire safety systems, inadequate supervision of residents with falls, and missed medication follow-up that in one case resulted in a resident’s death. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, primarily involving failures in resident supervision, medication administration, and reporting requirements, with some staff removals following these findings. The facility appears to have made improvements in addressing construction deficiencies recently, though past inspections revealed ongoing challenges in resident care and safety protocols.
