Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to residency requirements, incident reporting, and physician assessment. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so it is unclear whether these issues represent a new or ongoing pattern. The main themes involved the facility serving residents needing more assistance than allowed, not reporting a serious fall incident to the state, and not having a physician complete the required initial assessments. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Without prior inspection data, a clear trend in compliance cannot be determined.
