Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 17, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies related mainly to staffing levels, medication administration, and timely resident care, particularly in the memory care unit and response to call lights. Complaint investigations generally found no violations, though a few substantiated complaints noted issues with nurse staffing coverage and delayed resident assistance, including one incident where a resident had to call 911 due to delayed response. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The trend suggests improvement over time, with the most recent inspections showing no cited deficiencies.
