An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to medication administration by Qualified Medication Aides and failure to update a resident’s service plan. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including medication management, infection control, service plan documentation, and kitchen sanitation. Prior reports cited problems with narcotic count procedures, unsanitary food preparation areas, incomplete resident and pet records, and COVID-19 isolation practices. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the latest one, which was substantiated and resulted in cited deficiencies but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with medication administration and documentation, with no clear improvement trend.
