Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally consistent compliance with regulations. The most recent report from October 15, 2025, was free of deficiencies following a follow-up on a self-reported incident involving inappropriate staff behavior, which resulted in staff termination. Earlier reports cited isolated issues such as a non-functional air conditioning unit posing a potential health risk in June 2025 and medication record inaccuracies in January 2025. More serious concerns occurred in late 2024, including inadequate supervision leading to a resident elopement and medication errors, both posing immediate health and safety risks; these incidents were addressed with corrective actions. Overall, the facility’s recent inspections show improvement after these events, with no deficiencies noted in the latest visits.
