Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 10, 2024, found the facility in compliance with infection control regulations and cited no deficiencies, with all complaints investigated as unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, including multiple deficiencies identified in February 2024 related to resident care such as assistance with eating, medication management, wound care, infection control practices, and safety hazards like electric blanket use, as well as fire safety code violations. Complaint investigations in 2023 and 2024 included substantiated findings of delayed incontinent care, unresolved resident grievances, and misappropriation of resident property, though no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Subsequent follow-up and revisit surveys confirmed correction of prior deficiencies and mostly unsubstantiated complaints. The inspection history indicates improvement over time, with recent surveys showing compliance and resolution of earlier issues.
