Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 7, 2024, found that all previously cited Life Safety Code deficiencies had been corrected. Earlier inspections generally showed compliance with state licensure and Medicare/Medicaid requirements, with only occasional Life Safety Code issues such as labeling of electrical panels and sprinkler system tagging. The main themes of deficiencies involved fire safety measures, including maintenance of sprinkler systems, fire alarm testing, and proper storage of flammable materials. Multiple complaint investigations over time were consistently unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement in correcting cited deficiencies, with recent surveys indicating compliance and resolution of prior issues.
