Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on July 24, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to report incidents of exploitation timely, medication misappropriation involving narcotics, and resident rights violations concerning medication substitution without physician orders. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with medication management, incident reporting, oxygen tank storage, food safety, and maintenance concerns such as window screens. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for the latest substantiated findings involving medication diversion by a staff member, which led to corrective actions including retraining and increased audits; no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted fire safety and staff training deficiencies, with some improvements seen in recent years, though medication and reporting issues have recurred. The facility’s inspection history reflects ongoing challenges primarily in medication accountability and regulatory reporting, with some signs of corrective efforts but no clear consistent improvement trend.
