Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine annual and licensing visits showing compliance in areas such as staffing, infection control, medication storage, and resident rights. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about housekeeping, diet management, and theft. However, the facility had isolated deficiencies related to medication management in November 2023 and maintenance issues due to mold in one resident’s room in January 2025, both posing potential health risks but without enforcement actions or fines listed. The most recent report from January 14, 2025, noted a substantiated mold issue requiring air conditioning replacement but no other deficiencies. Overall, the facility’s record shows mostly compliance with some isolated concerns that do not indicate a worsening trend.
