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 September 24, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to update a resident’s individualized service plan following changes in their condition, resulting in a $500 fine. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with individualized service plans and medication management, including failure to document rationale for PRN psychotropic medication use and improper disposal of expired medications. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the most recent substantiated complaint involving service plan updates. Enforcement actions included statements of deficiency and a forfeiture, but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection record shows recurring documentation and medication-related deficiencies without clear improvement or worsening trends.
