The most recent inspection on December 5, 2024, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, respiratory care, nutrition, documentation, and infection control. Earlier inspections showed similar issues, including medication self-administration without authorization, inadequate meal assistance, infection control lapses, and care planning deficiencies. A substantiated complaint investigation in July 2023 found the facility failed to properly assess and document after a resident’s unwitnessed fall, resulting in actual harm. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges with care planning and resident safety, with no clear improvement trend over time.
