Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on March 26, 2025, identified several deficiencies including expired CPR certifications for direct care staff, delayed updates to individualized service plans, medication administration not following physician orders, and an out-of-date elevator inspection with elevator maintenance issues. Earlier inspections showed a similar pattern of medication management and elevator inspection deficiencies, though some visits, including one in January 2024 and the original licensing inspection in July 2023, found no violations. Complaint investigations in late 2024 were unsubstantiated and did not result in citations. Inspectors cited recurring issues mainly related to staff training, medication administration, and facility maintenance. The trend suggests ongoing challenges in these areas without clear improvement over time.
