An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 17, 2025, found multiple deficiencies including missing signed resident statements, incomplete staff fire safety training, maintenance and food storage issues, medication storage and labeling errors, and insufficient dementia care training. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication management and sanitation-related deficiencies, along with occasional issues in staffing, emergency preparedness, and resident documentation.

Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges in medication management and staff training, with some improvements noted in complaint follow-ups but recurring issues persisting over time.
