The facility’s May 13, 2024 inspection found nine deficiencies, including failure to honor a resident’s Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order, medication misappropriation, insufficient nursing staff during a critical event, and lack of CPR certification among staff; immediate jeopardy was identified but later removed. Multiple complaint investigations confirmed these issues, citing inadequate staffing, poor medication recordkeeping, and failure of the Quality Assurance committee to address the problems or notify the governing body. This record is problematic due to repeated failures in honoring advance directives, staffing, and medication management.
