Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on July 15, 2025, which was clean and without citations. Earlier reports showed some isolated deficiencies related to water temperature hazards, pest presence in the kitchen, unsecured hazardous items, medication discrepancies, and incomplete staff certifications, but these issues were addressed over time. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about food safety, staffing, communication during outbreaks, and resident safety. One substantiated complaint in July 2023 involved a failure to call 9-1-1 promptly during a medical emergency, posing a health risk, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Overall, the facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement and compliance with health and safety standards.

Date: Jul 26, 2023
Visit Reason
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by allegations received on 02/22/2023 concerning staff response times, verbal and psychological abuse, and rate increases without valid reasons at the facility.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation addressed allegations that staff did not respond timely to resident calls, verbally and psychologically abused the resident, increased rates without valid reasons, and failed to provide timely medical care. The first three allegations were unsubstantiated, while the failure to provide timely medical care was substantiated.
Findings
The investigation found insufficient evidence to substantiate claims of verbal and psychological abuse and untimely staff response to resident calls.

However, the claim that the resident did not receive timely medical care was substantiated due to staff failing to call 9-1-1 during a medical emergency and instead contacting the resident's responsible party.
