An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 3, 2025, found no deficiencies following a complaint and incident investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly related to staffing levels, medication management, resident care documentation, and safety concerns such as record confidentiality and environmental conditions. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues including medication errors, inadequate staffing during key hours, and failure to report incidents, though accepted plans of correction were implemented in response. No fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports, but one inspection in July 2024 noted a fine without associated deficiencies.
