Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent complaint investigation on August 8, 2025, which found the allegations unfounded and cited no issues. Earlier reports show isolated serious deficiencies related to resident supervision and safety, notably a substantiated complaint in June 2024 where a resident with dementia eloped, resulting in three deficiencies and a $500 fine. Prior to that, a similar elopement issue was cited in 2022, indicating some past challenges with supervision and safety measures for residents with dementia. Several complaint investigations over the last two years were unsubstantiated, and annual inspections consistently found the facility in compliance with regulations. The overall trend shows improvement, with recent reports free of deficiencies following earlier enforcement actions.
