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 19, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies and focused on informing individuals about privacy practices. Earlier inspections were mostly in compliance, with the exception of a complaint investigation in August 18, 2022, when inspectors cited deficiencies related to the safe use and maintenance of a mechanical lift after a resident sustained a fatal injury. That investigation found the facility failed to develop policies and conduct assessments to ensure equipment safety. Complaint investigations since then were unsubstantiated, and no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows improvement following the 2022 findings, with recent surveys indicating compliance with applicable standards.
