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

The most recent inspection on April 21, 2025, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to properly assess a resident after multiple falls and to update the resident’s service plan accordingly. Earlier inspections showed a mix of compliance and deficiencies, with the October 25, 2024 annual survey citing issues in disaster preparedness drills, CPR-certified staff coverage, and tuberculosis testing for employees and residents. The main themes of deficiencies involved resident care planning, staff training and certification, and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations prior to April 2025 were mostly unsubstantiated, except for the substantiated complaint in April 2025 concerning fall management and service plan updates. The facility has taken corrective actions as outlined in a plan of correction, but the recent findings suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining consistent compliance.
