Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on August 1, 2025, which was perfect with no issues cited.

Other complaint investigations, including several related to COVID-19 protocols and resident care concerns, were unsubstantiated. There were no fines, enforcement actions, or severe deficiencies reported in any inspections. The facility’s record shows consistent compliance with licensing requirements and improvement over time, with the latest reports all clean.
