Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on March 14, 2025, which noted no health or safety issues during a wellness check. Earlier complaint investigations were largely unsubstantiated, with residents receiving appropriate care and the facility maintaining cleanliness and safety. Some deficiencies were cited in 2023, including missed medication doses and failure to notify responsible parties about a resident’s hospitalization, both of which were addressed with corrective actions and staff training. A serious issue involving financial elder abuse by a staff member was documented in 2021, resulting in criminal conviction and a citation. Since then, the facility’s record shows improvement with no recent deficiencies or enforcement actions.
