Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 24, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance with Medicare/Medicaid and Life Safety Code standards, noting one deficiency related to a corridor door latch that was corrected during the revisit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of Life Safety Code deficiencies, particularly involving door latching, fire extinguisher maintenance, and electrical safety issues, as well as some resident care concerns such as grooming, infection control, and timely assistance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for one substantiated case in August 2022 involving a delayed report of resident-to-resident verbal abuse. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections suggest improvement in addressing Life Safety Code issues and regulatory compliance compared to prior surveys.
