An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 15, 2025, found deficiencies that represented the potential for more than minimal harm, requiring the facility to submit a plan of correction. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication administration, staffing qualifications, and environmental cleanliness, with some issues in cognitive activity programming and incident reporting. Complaint investigations in 2025 identified multiple deficiencies including insufficient staffing and medication availability, while prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring challenges in medication management and staffing, with some improvement noted between 2024 and 2025 but ongoing issues remain.
