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 October 24, 2024 identified deficiencies related to medication administration and therapy follow-up, including missed insulin doses and inaccurate medication records. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with medication management and therapeutic diet provision, as well as longstanding physical plant and fire safety code deficiencies from prior years. Complaint investigations in 2015 substantiated inadequate supervision and door locking delays in the Special Care Unit, resulting in resident elopements, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were noted in the reports. The pattern of deficiencies suggests ongoing challenges with medication administration and care coordination, while physical plant issues appear to have been addressed over time.
