The most recent inspection on December 4, 2018, identified a deficiency related to the lack of specific directions for administering as-needed medications to sampled residents. Earlier inspections showed similar medication management issues, including failures in implementing proper policies and altering medication records without authorization. Complaint investigations mostly found the facility in compliance, with one complaint about medication administration and abuse protection determined to be unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests some recurring challenges with medication procedures, but no clear pattern of worsening or improvement is evident.
