Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on November 22, 2024, found no deficiencies and confirmed that the facility meets Assisted Living Facility licensing requirements. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related to tuberculosis screening, medical testing compliance, and respiratory protection program adherence, with a substantiated complaint investigation in December 2022 involving COVID-19 infection control. Enforcement actions included civil fines imposed in October 2024 for uncorrected tuberculosis screening and medical testing issues, while follow-up inspections in March 2023 and November 2024 verified correction of prior deficiencies. Most complaints were unsubstantiated except for the December 2022 case, and enforcement actions were noted only in the October 2024 report. The recent clean inspection results suggest improvement after addressing earlier issues.
