Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 28, 2025, noted one deficiency but resulted in certification of compliance based on the facility’s accepted plan of correction. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident care, including issues with medication management, quality of care such as skin assessments and fall prevention, infection control, and food safety practices. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though a substantiated complaint in May 2022 involved failure to report alleged abuse timely, and another in August 2023 cited inadequate investigation of bruises and skin issues. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows some improvement with recent plans of correction accepted and certifications maintained despite recurring citations in prior years.
