Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on May 27, 2025, found deficiencies related to inconsistencies between staff schedules and daily assignment sheets, though the facility was not understaffed as alleged. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care issues such as delayed call light responses, inconsistent oxygen administration, and failure to update service plans, as well as documentation problems and insufficient linens. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about confidentiality breaches, supervision lapses during a choking incident, and care delays, but fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, while some allegations such as understaffing and inadequate dental or wound care were not. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with care coordination and documentation, with no clear trend of overall improvement or worsening.
