The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025, found no deficiencies during the complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to tenant care, medication administration, service plan updates, and safety measures such as door alarms in the memory care unit. Prior reports also noted issues with staffing levels, management of aggressive tenants, and incomplete documentation, with one inspection citing a choking incident that resulted in a tenant’s death. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated in earlier years, though the most recent investigation found no regulatory insufficiencies. The trend suggests some improvement in compliance, as recent inspections have not identified new deficiencies.
