|---|---|---|

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving emergency preparedness and life safety code compliance, as well as resident care issues such as pressure ulcer assessment, catheter placement, and respect for personal property. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues including verbal abuse, improper discharge, and misappropriation of resident funds, which led to staff terminations, but most complaints were unsubstantiated or found to have no related deficiencies. Enforcement actions such as immediate jeopardy related to fire safety were noted in August 2023, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement in compliance, particularly with emergency preparedness and complaint-related concerns.
