Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, was a follow-up that found all prior deficiencies related to a complaint and fire investigation had been corrected, with no further action required. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies including maintenance issues with building equipment, such as a broken front entrance door noted in January 2025, and concerns with resident care and services identified in previous years, including food service and activities program shortcomings in October 2024, as well as hot water temperature, medication administration, and communication issues in 2021. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case related to fire safety equipment maintenance, but no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were either addressed or unsubstantiated, and the facility has demonstrated improvement over time by correcting earlier deficiencies. The trend suggests progress in addressing issues, particularly with maintenance and safety concerns resolved by the latest follow-up.
