The most recent inspection on July 15, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections mostly showed no issues, with the exception of a complaint investigation in March 2024 that cited deficiencies related to staff background checks, oversight by the governing body, and financial exploitation of a resident by a staff member, which resulted in the arrest of the involved staff. Prior to that, a November 2021 inspection noted deficiencies involving fire code non-compliance and failure to report resident abuse. Complaint investigations since then have been unsubstantiated, and the facility has not been listed with fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions in the available reports. The inspection history suggests improvement following the 2024 findings, with recent investigations showing no cited violations.
