An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on March 18, 2025, found two deficiencies related to medication self-administration evaluations and food labeling and expiration practices. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mostly involving medication management, food safety, and emergency preparedness, with some substantiated complaints related to resident abuse and reporting failures. Inspectors cited issues such as failure to ensure residents were free from abuse, incomplete abuse investigations, untimely reporting of incidents, unsanitary food storage, and incomplete fire drills. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated except for two substantiated abuse-related findings in 2023, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections suggest some ongoing challenges with compliance, though the number and severity of deficiencies appear to have decreased compared to earlier reports.
