An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, identified one isolated Level 2 deficiency related to reporting of alleged violations, which was corrected by June 9, 2025. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of Level 2 deficiencies involving care planning, immunizations, life safety code issues, and reporting requirements, with all cited issues corrected within a reasonable time frame. Prior reports also noted isolated deficiencies related to abuse prevention, pressure ulcer treatment, and various safety and documentation concerns, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or did not reveal notable substantiated cases. The facility’s record shows ongoing attention to correcting identified issues, with recent inspections reflecting fewer and more isolated deficiencies compared to earlier, more widespread findings.
