Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including admission of a non-ambulatory resident not capable of self-preservation, incomplete staff training, and missing documentation such as informed consents and care plans for proxy caregivers.

Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case related to admission and training deficiencies.
