Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 21, 2025, found the facility generally in compliance with assisted living regulations but noted a technical deficiency regarding unsigned physician assessments. Earlier inspections showed more significant deficiencies, including a substantiated complaint investigation in September 2025 where inspectors cited failures to document fall risks and fall prevention interventions, which was linked to a resident’s fatal fall. Prior reports from March 2025 identified multiple issues such as incomplete emergency drills, untimely injury reporting, incomplete background checks, unsigned service plans, and missed tuberculosis testing. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates some improvement by the most recent review, though documentation and service planning remain areas needing attention.
