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 July 29, 2025, found a deficiency related to the facility’s service plan not being updated to reflect a resident’s current care needs and hospice services. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving food safety practices, sanitation recordkeeping, and care plan documentation. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case where staff did not timely address a resident’s decline, resulting in a care-related violation, while other complaints were found unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing issues with documentation and food safety, with some improvement in care plan updates but continued challenges in maintaining consistent compliance.
