Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication administration, updating resident service plans, and housekeeping and maintenance concerns such as damaged carpets and missing bathroom fixtures. A substantiated complaint in May 2025 involved failure to report a major incident and maintain confidentiality of resident medical records, but these issues were resolved by the July 2025 revisit.
