Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on January 18, 2024, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit. Earlier inspections generally showed a clean record with no regulatory insufficiencies cited in multiple recertification and monitoring visits dating back several years. Prior to that, inspections in 2006 and 2008 noted deficiencies related mainly to tenant evaluations, service plan updates, and staffing levels, but these issues were addressed over time. Complaint investigations were conducted in 2012 regarding tenant elopement and rights, but no deficiencies were identified and tenant rights were upheld. The inspection history shows improvement, with no deficiencies found in recent years and no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports.
