Exhaust ventilation in certain rooms was connected to light switches and did not function continuously; refrigerator and freezer temperatures exceeded required limits; food records were not maintained properly by the facility’s chef; building maintenance fell short, with the game room ceiling left incompletely repaired; fire safety certification for the sauna remained uncertain. Each deficiency was addressed through documented corrective action plans, leading to the determination of substantial compliance and issuance of a temporary license for 100 beds.

No complaint investigations, fines, or enforcement actions appear in the records. The license.

It is advised that interested parties request documentation of corrective actions completed for ventilation, temperature monitoring, food record procedures, building maintenance standards, and fire safety certification, and confirm current food handling practices and kitchen documentation protocols directly with facility staff before enrollment.

Families should verify that all five deficiencies identified during the September 2023 original licensing have remained resolved since the March 2024 renewal inspection.
