Inspection Report Summary for Westhaven Community

The most recent inspection on September 3, 2025, found no deficiencies during the complaint investigation. Earlier inspections were consistently free of regulatory insufficiencies, with only one report in February 2012 citing documentation issues related to tenant health assessments that were subsequently addressed.
