The most recent inspection on October 29, 2025, found several deficiencies related to food service, tuberculosis screening, fire safety code compliance, staff training, service plan implementation, and medication management.

Inspectors cited issues primarily with food preparation and safety, fire code violations involving door mechanisms and exit security, incomplete staff training on required topics, and gaps in resident care documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were noted.
