Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 12, 2025, found multiple deficiencies related to documentation, medication orders, service plans, and health statements, though no deficiencies were cited related to the complaints investigated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication administration, clinical record accuracy, resident care documentation, infection control, and safety procedures. Several substantiated complaints involved issues such as resident-to-resident abuse, failure to report abuse, medication errors, and pest control problems, but enforcement actions like fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, with deficiencies generally focused on administrative and care process issues rather than immediate harm. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with documentation and medication management, with no clear trend of overall improvement or worsening.
