An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 12, 2025 identified deficiencies related to hot water temperatures exceeding limits, delays in physician signatures on resident care plans, and issues with food labeling and kitchen sanitation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication administration problems, environmental maintenance concerns, and building safety deficiencies, with some recurring issues in cleanliness and fire safety systems. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one in 2021 noting multiple care and environmental deficiencies but no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. No immediate jeopardy findings, fines, or license suspensions were noted in any report. While deficiencies persist, the facility has addressed some prior issues over time, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges in resident care documentation, medication management, and facility maintenance.
