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 July 10, 2025 identified deficiencies related to inadequate supervision of a resident who eloped from the Special Care Unit without staff knowledge. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar supervision issues, medication management problems, and physical plant and fire safety deficiencies. Deficiencies frequently involved failure to provide adequate resident supervision, especially for those at risk of elopement, as well as medication administration errors and unsafe medication storage. Several complaint investigations substantiated elopement incidents linked to supervision lapses, but fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with supervision and medication management, with some corrective actions noted but no clear sustained improvement trend.
