Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance with regulations. However, there were some substantiated deficiencies primarily related to resident care and supervision, staff training, and personal rights issues, including a serious incident in June 2023 involving insufficient staffing, medication errors, and intimidation of residents. The facility also received citations for inadequate supervision leading to a resident elopement in October 2025 and for coercing a resident to sign documents under duress in April 2025. The most recent inspection on October 28, 2025, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation about missing resident money. Overall, the facility shows improvement in recent reports, with fewer deficiencies noted compared to earlier investigations.
The visit was conducted as an unannounced Case Management - Incident inspection in response to a SOC341 Report submitted by the licensee regarding a report of missing money for Resident #1 on 2025-10-15.
Findings
No immediate health or safety risks were observed and no deficiencies were cited during this visit. Additional case management and subsequent visits will be provided as needed.
Complaint Details
The complaint involved a report of missing money for Resident #1, who was admitted on 2025-10-14 and is currently hospitalized. The facility followed theft and loss protocols and investigated the incident. Resident #1 was documented as having no cognitive impairment and able to make their own decisions.
