The most recent inspection on September 26, 2025, found no deficiencies during the complaint investigation. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to staff training, medication administration, evacuation drills, and documentation, with a notable enforcement action in late 2023 that included fines totaling $3,500 for multiple violations such as failure to report suspected abuse and inadequate employee training records. Complaint investigations in the available reports were unsubstantiated, with no deficiencies cited. Enforcement actions were limited to the fines imposed in 2023, and no license suspensions or revocations were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests improvement, as the most recent on-site review found no issues after earlier citations and enforcement.
