Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 13, 2025, found deficiencies related to failure to submit required construction documents and specifications for remodeling, specifically for the fire alarm system replacement. Earlier inspections showed a recurring pattern of similar construction compliance issues, including fire safety system maintenance problems and unapproved remodeling activities. Prior annual inspections cited deficiencies mainly in resident care areas such as medication administration, staff qualifications, therapeutic diet adherence, and supervision, but these were separate from the construction-related findings. Complaint investigations included one in June 2024 that was part of the annual inspection, but no substantiated complaints were noted in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with construction compliance over multiple years, while resident care deficiencies appeared more prominently in earlier inspections, indicating some improvement in care-related areas but persistent issues with construction documentation and fire safety compliance.
