Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on October 8, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of isolated issues primarily related to resident dignity and safety, including substantiated complaints of staff handling residents inappropriately and one incident of a resident being dropped during transfer causing injury. Prior reports also noted deficiencies in medication procurement timeliness and respect for resident preferences. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions such as staff suspension and retraining occurred following substantiated findings, but fines or license actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record suggests some improvement over time, with no deficiencies noted in the most recent inspections after earlier issues.
