An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 3, 2023, identified a deficiency related to medication administration where a prescribed hold on a blood pressure medication was not followed. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication administration and supervision issues, including missed medication holds, incorrect dosing, and inadequate resident supervision. Prior reports also noted recurring physical plant and safety deficiencies, such as fire safety concerns and maintenance issues, though these were separate from care-related citations. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the recent substantiated medication administration concern. The inspection history suggests ongoing attention is needed for medication management and resident supervision, with some improvement in physical plant issues over time.
