Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 12, 2025, found no deficiencies despite substantiating several complaints. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with prior surveys citing deficiencies related mainly to environmental maintenance issues such as dirty air conditioner filters and malfunctioning light switches, as well as life safety concerns including emergency lighting, sprinkler system maintenance, and oxygen cylinder storage. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated but did not result in cited deficiencies, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Prior follow-up and revisit surveys confirmed correction of previously cited deficiencies. The overall trend suggests improvement, with the facility addressing earlier issues and recent inspections showing compliance.
