The most recent inspection on February 21, 2025, cited deficiencies related to missing admission weight documentation for one resident and kitchen cleanliness issues, including improper food storage and incomplete cleaning records. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving food service sanitation and documentation, as well as issues with staff qualifications and resident care communication. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for substantiated cases involving unlicensed staff providing personal care, failure to notify physicians of significant resident changes, and the absence of a licensed administrator, which led to staff termination and re-education but no listed fines or license actions. No enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were noted in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with food service and staff compliance, with no clear trend of improvement or worsening over time.
