The main themes of deficiencies involved consent documentation for resident care and regulatory compliance with licensing and notification requirements. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case regarding the lack of proper consent for therapy treatment. The facility’s record shows recurring regulatory compliance issues, particularly around licensing and consent, with no clear pattern of improvement or worsening over time.
