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 30, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident dignity during meal assistance, environmental cleanliness, resident assessments, care planning, medication management, infection control, and safety measures. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with care planning, medication management, infection control, and resident rights, along with complaint investigations that found violations in discharge procedures and reporting of abuse, though most complaints were unsubstantiated. Inspectors cited recurring problems with medication security and administration, incomplete or inaccurate care plans, and lapses in infection prevention practices. Complaint investigations included a substantiated case involving improper resident discharge without consent and failure to allow return after hospitalization. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with compliance in several key areas without clear improvement over time; enforcement actions or fines were not listed in the available reports.
