Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 2, 2025, found that previously cited deficiencies had been corrected and no further action was needed. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues primarily related to building safety and maintenance, including fire safety equipment, plumbing, and sanitation reports, as well as resident care concerns such as food safety, special care unit screenings, and tuberculosis testing. A complaint investigation in March 2024 substantiated resident abuse by a staff member, which led to termination and criminal charges, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated or not listed. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many physical plant deficiencies over time, with the most recent follow-up indicating improvement in correcting prior issues.
