Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent reports from March 4, 2025, which showed the facility was well maintained with clean kitchens, proper food storage, and updated infection control and disaster plans. Several complaint investigations over the years were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised did not result in findings against the facility. One complaint investigation in March 2024 was substantiated, where staff failed to prevent inappropriate non-consensual interactions between residents in the Memory Care Unit, posing an immediate risk to resident safety. Aside from this isolated serious issue, other concerns were minor or unsubstantiated, and no fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were noted in the available reports. The facility’s record appears to have improved over time, with recent inspections showing no deficiencies after earlier isolated issues.
