Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to medication management, infection control, staff training, and resident care, including missed medications, infection outbreaks, and failure to follow care plans. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, involving issues such as missed medication doses leading to resident agitation and health risks, inadequate infection control during outbreaks, and failure to provide timely assistance or respect to residents. Enforcement actions included civil fines related to medication availability, but license suspensions or revocations were not listed in the available reports. The facility demonstrated some improvement over time, with multiple follow-up inspections confirming correction of prior deficiencies, though medication management and infection control remained recurring themes.
