Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 30, 2025, confirmed compliance with federal requirements and found no deficiencies. Prior inspections, however, identified various deficiencies related to staffing levels, failure to report and investigate allegations of verbal abuse, and documentation issues involving resident care plans and monitoring. Complaint investigations substantiated violations concerning staff-to-resident interactions and care plan development, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Earlier inspections also noted challenges with infection control during the COVID-19 pandemic and inconsistent use of personal protective equipment. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies, showing improvement in recent inspections.
