Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the two most recent annual inspections on February 18, 2025, and March 6, 2025, which were both clean with no deficiencies cited. Earlier reports showed some issues, primarily related to environment and safety, staff training, and medication record accuracy. A serious event occurred in May 2024 when staff were found to have handled residents roughly and used inappropriate language, posing immediate safety risks; this was substantiated with cited deficiencies. Other deficiencies involved bathroom cleanliness, expired staff certifications, and incomplete medication documentation, but these were isolated or minor and addressed over time. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating that many concerns raised were not confirmed by inspectors.
