Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent complaint investigation on June 2, 2023, which found the allegations unsubstantiated. The annual inspections from 2022 through 2023 were mostly clean, with only minor issues such as maintenance problems in the laundry room and non-functioning pull cords noted in September 2023. The facility corrected these issues promptly, as confirmed during a Plan of Correction visit in October 2023. However, the latest annual inspection on August 28, 2025, identified several deficiencies related to unlocked exit gates, medication management errors, and missing resident reappraisals, some posing immediate safety risks. This represents a decline in compliance compared to prior years, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports.
