Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on September 12, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some citations related to resident care and documentation, particularly involving Individual Service Plans and memory care unit operations. Prior reports noted issues such as inadequate staffing in the memory care unit, admission of residents needing care beyond the facility’s permitted level, and restrictions on resident freedom of movement. Complaint investigations were conducted but were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one in January 2022 that identified deficiencies in memory care certification, staffing, and care planning. The overall trend suggests improvement, with recent inspections showing no cited violations after earlier issues.
