Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on February 6, 2017, identified multiple deficiencies related to reporting abuse allegations, functional capacity screenings, service agreements, medication storage, dietary services, and facility safety. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with health care coordination, dietary practices, and proper documentation, with a follow-up in February 2015 confirming correction of prior deficiencies at that time. Inspectors cited recurring themes involving medication management, dietary service supervision, and maintaining a safe environment for residents. Complaint investigations were part of the latest inspection, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges in these areas, with some improvements noted after 2015 but additional deficiencies identified in 2017.
