Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on January 13, 2026, found the facility to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to medication administration, notification of primary care physicians and families about resident changes, infection prevention and control, and care planning. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as failure to follow physician orders, inadequate abuse prevention policies, and incomplete discharge planning, but enforcement actions like fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, though some investigations found the facility in substantial compliance or unsubstantiated. The inspection history shows some improvement over time, with recent plans of correction accepted and the latest survey confirming compliance.
