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 19, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed some issues, including a December 1, 2021 survey that cited deficiencies related to fire drill practices, such as incomplete monthly drills, lack of drills on all shifts, absence of disaster drills beyond fire, and no joint drills with the local fire department. No fines, enforcement actions, or complaint investigations were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted these safety procedure issues, but the latest inspection did not find similar problems. This suggests the facility has addressed earlier fire drill compliance concerns.
