The most recent inspection on May 6, 2025, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some deficiencies related primarily to incident reporting, resident care, and staff training. Prior investigations substantiated issues such as failure to report a serious incident timely, inadequate protective oversight for a resident who eloped, and concerns about mistreatment and medication management. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for a few substantiated cases involving resident mistreatment and oversight failures. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement compared to earlier findings.
