Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 1, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed that previously cited fire and safety issues were corrected. Earlier inspections documented recurring deficiencies primarily related to fire safety compliance, including faulty fire door installations, missing inspection records, and failure to meet State Fire Marshal codes, which led to citations and a substantiated complaint investigation. Other noted issues involved medication management, resident care such as failure to provide showers, staffing shortages, and incomplete investigations of incidents, with some resulting in civil fines. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated, addressing concerns like kitchen grease fire hazards, improper discharge, and failure to investigate abuse or missing property. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement in fire and safety compliance after a period of repeated deficiencies.
