An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on September 16, 2025, found deficiencies related to medication administration, observation of residents taking medications, documentation, and resident safety involving a wandering resident near unattended medications. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication administration issues, staff training and supervision problems, and lapses in resident care and documentation. Prior complaint investigations substantiated concerns about medication aide qualifications, staff presence, medication labeling, and supervision of residents, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, particularly those involving medication management and supervision. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with medication administration and resident safety, with no clear improvement trend over time.
