Most inspections found deficiencies related to resident care and safety, particularly involving the pendant call alert system, medication management, and timely access to resident records. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including issues with staff soliciting money from residents and failure to maintain operable signaling equipment, both posing risks to residents’ health and safety. The facility was cited for a Type A deficiency in its most recent report dated October 21, 2025, due to an unreliable call alert system that posed immediate risk. Earlier reports showed medication errors and delays in providing records, while some complaints about staff conduct and charging practices were unsubstantiated. There is no clear pattern of improvement or decline, but the most recent serious deficiency indicates ongoing challenges with communication and response systems.
The visit was a case management inspection focused on deficiencies related to the pendant call alert system and staff response times.
Findings
The facility's pendant call alert system was found to be unreliable, with documented response times exceeding acceptable limits and ongoing issues with alert clearing and staff notification. This posed an immediate risk to residents' health, safety, and personal rights, resulting in a Type A deficiency citation.
