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 December 19, 2025, identified deficiencies related to the lack of documented disaster reviews with staff and no recorded fire drills within the past year. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues primarily involving medication management, staffing shortages, and documentation, with prior complaint investigations substantiating medication errors and inadequate resident care. Notable findings included missed medication doses without proper notification to practitioners, incomplete staff training, delayed response times to residents, and physical plant maintenance concerns. Complaint investigations were substantiated in several cases, especially regarding medication administration and staffing, while fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with medication and staffing practices, with no clear trend of improvement in recent years.
