Chronology
Every inspection in the record window, newest first. A finding is a deficiency an inspector cited. CMS publishes what a complaint investigation cited, not what the complaint alleged.
10 findings
Enforcement Action
Civil money penalty, $14,186 imposed September 16, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. CMS does not tie a penalty to a survey; listed with the standard health inspection of July 29, 2025, the nearest before the penalty date.
