Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on April 4, 2025, found deficiencies related to medication administration, specifically that discontinued medications were still given to a resident after the discontinuation date. Earlier inspections showed multiple issues, including incomplete staff background checks, inadequate dishwashing sanitation, lack of routine maintenance and housekeeping, and missing call bell equipment in a bathing area. A substantiated complaint investigation confirmed the medication administration issue, while prior reports did not list enforcement actions or fines. Inspectors cited themes of medication management and regulatory compliance with staffing and facility maintenance. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory adherence, with no clear improvement or worsening trend evident.
