An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 20, 2025, found deficiencies related to staff training documentation and medication certification, both of which were corrected with ongoing monitoring. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care issues, staff training gaps, medication management, and safety concerns, with multiple instances of staff misconduct and incomplete records. Complaint investigations substantiated some abuse and dignity violations, leading to staff suspensions and terminations, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Plans of correction were consistently accepted and implemented following inspections, with follow-up visits confirming improvements. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges primarily in staff training and resident care documentation, but recent efforts indicate some progress in addressing these issues.
