The most recent inspection on August 22, 2024, identified deficiencies including unsecured oxygen cylinders, delayed staff response to call pendants, missed medication administration, failure to contact a primary care provider for elevated blood pressures, and incomplete implementation of COVID-19 outbreak policies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident supervision, especially related to wandering and elopement, medication administration errors, and physical plant safety concerns such as unsecured exit doors and emergency systems. A substantiated complaint investigation in June 2023 found inadequate supervision of a resident with dementia who eloped and was injured, resulting in a Type A1 violation. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring challenges with resident safety and medication management, with no clear trend of improvement over time.
