Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies related primarily to medication management, including missed doses and documentation issues that led to hospitalization, as well as safety concerns involving inadequate staffing and ineffective safety devices to prevent resident elopement. Complaint investigations prior to the most recent one were mostly unsubstantiated, except for substantiated findings in 2020 regarding elopement risks and insufficient care and supervision. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports.
