Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 27, 2025, cited two Level 2 deficiencies related to accident hazards and quality of care, both described as isolated incidents without severe systemic problems. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar Level 2 deficiencies, often involving reporting to the national health safety network, food sanitation, life safety code issues, and quality of care. Complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or involved minor citations that were typically corrected promptly, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The main themes across reports included safety hazards, quality of care, and regulatory reporting. The inspection history shows ongoing attention to these areas with some recurring issues but no clear worsening or improvement trend.
