Most inspections found no deficiencies, with many complaint investigations unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance. The facility’s most recent report on August 15, 2025, was free of deficiencies and confirmed that elevator repairs were nearly complete with no safety concerns. The only deficiency noted during this period was a failure to report the elevator disrepair to the licensing agency in July 2025, which was cited as a Type B violation but did not result in fines or enforcement actions. Other complaints related to staff care, environment, and resident needs were investigated and found unsubstantiated. Overall, the facility showed improvement by resolving elevator issues and maintaining compliance in recent inspections.
