Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on July 16, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated at that time. Earlier inspections showed mostly compliance, but a January 16, 2024, complaint investigation identified deficiencies involving inadequate supervision that led to a resident’s fall with serious injury and failure to notify a physician of the resident’s condition change; these complaints were substantiated. Prior reports noted a single deficiency in November 2024 where a licensed practical nurse worked with an expired license, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility corrected the cited issues from earlier complaints by April 2024. The inspection history suggests improvement after the January 2024 findings, with more recent inspections showing fewer or no deficiencies.
