The most recent inspection on May 29, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to care planning for oxygen therapy and pain management, inadequate assistance with activities of daily living, pain management issues, and environmental sanitation concerns such as dirty air conditioner filters and broken mirrors. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues, including medication administration errors, failure to provide PASARR Level II screenings, and unsafe living conditions, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations included several substantiated complaints mostly without cited deficiencies, with one prior substantiated complaint involving missed call light responses and unmet resident shower preferences. Life Safety Code surveys consistently found the facility in substantial compliance, though earlier reports noted some fire safety maintenance deficiencies that were later corrected. The overall trend suggests ongoing challenges with resident care and environmental maintenance, with no clear improvement in the most recent survey cycle.
