The most recent inspection on April 30, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit.

Prior complaint investigations also identified issues with medication administration and documentation, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for some substantiated findings related to care planning and medication management in earlier years. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following prior citations in tenant care documentation and service planning.
