Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with many complaint investigations unsubstantiated or unfounded, indicating generally adequate care and compliance. However, the facility has had some serious issues, including substantiated complaints related to timely medical response and supervision that resulted in multiple serious resident injuries and one death, leading to a $500 civil penalty assessed on April 8, 2025. Earlier substantiated findings from November 2021 involved insufficient staffing and failure to report changes in residents’ conditions, posing immediate health and safety risks. The most recent report from June 10, 2025, did not issue new citations but noted ongoing compliance issues and an open complaint with an outstanding appeal. Overall, the facility shows some improvement since the serious deficiencies in early 2025, but past issues remain a concern.
