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 November 18, 2025, found the facility in compliance with assisted living regulations and cited no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some deficiencies related mainly to resident monitoring and care, particularly involving falls and staff supervision, as well as documentation issues like physician assessments and service plans. A substantiated complaint in June 2025 identified inadequate staff monitoring that led to multiple falls, prompting a plan of correction focused on staffing and fall prevention. Other complaint investigations were substantiated but did not result in deficiencies, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record suggests improvement since the most recent inspections found no deficiencies following earlier issues.
