The most recent inspection on April 1, 2025, found deficiencies related to accident hazards and self-determination, which were corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving activities of daily living, infection control, nutrition, resident rights, and life safety issues such as fire alarms and hazardous areas, all of which were addressed. Complaint investigations were not substantiated, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted issues with investigation and correction of alleged violations as well as quality of care, but these were also corrected.
