Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 6, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to residents' rights, grievance resolution, discharge notifications, qualified personnel, respiratory and pain management, pharmacy records, and the environment, with several issues not corrected on revisit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar deficiencies involving resident rights, staffing, safe environment, care quality, and regulatory compliance, with many issues recurring despite revisits. Inspectors frequently cited problems in resident rights communication, staffing sufficiency, infection control, and medication management. Complaint investigations were conducted but were unsubstantiated or did not result in additional deficiencies. The overall trend indicates persistent challenges with compliance, as deficiencies have continued over time without clear improvement.
