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 29, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with several complaint investigations citing issues primarily related to medication management, staff training, resident care, and documentation. Notable substantiated complaints included medication errors, inadequate staff certifications, failure to provide adequate care, and a substantiated physical abuse incident in late 2019 that led to staff termination. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions included staff suspensions and terminations but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following earlier concerns.
