Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on May 1, 2025, which was clean and showed the facility maintained approved plans and proper safety measures. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues related to medication management, such as missed or delayed medications and a failure to assist residents with self-administered medications, posing health and safety risks. Other complaints about staff response times and incident reporting were also substantiated but were isolated and did not lead to fines or enforcement actions. Many other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of neglect, poor communication, and inadequate care. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the latest inspection free of deficiencies after earlier findings mostly focused on medication-related concerns.
