An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 8, 2025, found deficiencies related to staff failure to follow door alarm response policies, resulting in a tenant with severe cognitive impairment leaving the facility unsupervised. Earlier inspections also noted issues with door alarm responses and maintenance of building and grounds, as well as deficiencies in nurse reviews following significant changes in tenant conditions and staff training in dementia-specific education. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about tenant elopement risks, inadequate supervision, and tenant dignity, including a prior substantiated incident involving staff behavior toward tenants. No fines or license actions were listed in the available reports, though a $7,000 civil penalty was assessed in 2013 for multiple regulatory insufficiencies. The inspection history shows recurring challenges with door alarm systems and staff response, with recent findings continuing similar themes from prior years.
