Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on November 13, 2025 found the facility to be in substantial compliance with all previously cited deficiencies corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, timely notification of condition changes, adequate nursing staff responsiveness, and infection control practices. Several complaint investigations were substantiated over time, including cases involving medication errors, dignity and respect concerns, and environmental safety, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports after August 2024. Most recent complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found the facility in substantial compliance. The facility appears to have made improvements recently, correcting prior deficiencies and maintaining compliance in the latest inspections.
