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 April 30, 2025, identified multiple fire safety deficiencies including malfunctioning equipment, blocked and improperly latched fire doors, missing documentation, and issues with fire alarm detectors and door locks. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related to resident care policies, wound care, staff qualifications, medication management, infection control, and safety documentation, with several substantiated complaint investigations resulting in citations and a civil fine. Notable issues included failure to implement change of condition policies leading to delayed medical evaluations, inadequate wound care contributing to pressure injuries, unqualified staff providing care causing injury, and delayed reporting of abuse. Enforcement actions included citations and a civil fine, but no license suspensions or revocations were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges with compliance in both care practices and life safety, with some follow-up inspections noting corrections, though recent fire safety issues indicate areas needing further attention.
