Earlier reports also noted a failure to secure the facility perimeter leading to a resident elopement and substantiated complaints about wrongful eviction and medication mishandling, while several other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated.

Overall, the facility has faced repeated issues with staff clearance and resident safety but has addressed some concerns over time.
