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 October 29, 2025, found several deficiencies related to food service, tuberculosis screening, fire safety code compliance, staff training, service plan implementation, and medication management. Earlier inspections were not included in the available data, so broader patterns cannot be fully assessed. 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. Without prior inspection data, it is unclear whether these issues represent a new or ongoing trend.
