An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 14, 2025, found no deficiencies. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care documentation, staff training, medication management, and failure to complete required resident rounds. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, often citing issues with individualized service plans, medication administration, and resident supervision, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated in part, with some allegations not supported by evidence. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, though the latest monitoring visit suggests some recent improvement.
