Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections before 2025 found the facility generally compliant with safety and environment standards, including a clean prelicensing inspection on June 14, 2023. However, more recent reports show some serious issues. On July 18, 2024, inspectors cited the facility for privacy violations due to unauthorized audio video monitoring in residents’ rooms and for having an unauthorized staff member present, resulting in $500 in civil penalties. The most recent report from September 25, 2025, substantiated a neglect complaint involving a resident who developed an open wound with maggots and required hospitalization; this led to an immediate $500 civil penalty with additional fines pending. These findings indicate a worsening pattern of resident care and supervision concerns over time.
