Inspection Report Summary

Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine annual and complaint investigations consistently showing the facility to be clean, sanitary, and in good repair. The most recent report from July 30, 2025, was perfect with no deficiencies cited. Some earlier complaint investigations identified isolated issues, including a failure to provide timely medical attention after a resident’s fall in November 2024, inadequate observation contributing to a resident elopement in August 2023, and a medication administration error the same month; these were addressed without enforcement actions or fines. Several pest-related and care-related complaints were investigated and found unsubstantiated. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the latest inspections free of deficiencies after earlier isolated incidents.
