The most recent inspection on June 19, 2025, found the facility in compliance with Medicare/Medicaid participation requirements and Life Safety Code standards, with no deficiencies noted. Prior inspections showed a pattern of Life Safety Code and emergency preparedness deficiencies, including issues with outdoor smoking area maintenance, emergency generator testing, and fire safety equipment, as well as care-related deficiencies such as discharge planning, medication management, and infection control. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated complaint in January 2025 that identified immediate jeopardy related to unsafe discharge practices and other care concerns; enforcement actions or fines were not listed in the available reports. Earlier complaints related to discharge planning were substantiated, but subsequent revisits confirmed correction of those issues. The overall trend shows improvement in Life Safety Code compliance and emergency preparedness in the most recent inspections after addressing prior deficiencies.
