Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 18, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections generally showed compliance with regulations, though there were isolated deficiencies related to resident care, such as delayed response to call pendants and protective oversight, as well as issues with facility maintenance and safeguarding resident property. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a few substantiated cases involving delayed care response, an elopement incident, and a financial theft case that involved law enforcement and reimbursement. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history suggests some improvement over time, with recent inspections showing no cited deficiencies after prior issues.
