Most inspections found deficiencies related to safety and medication management, including unlocked knives and insulin accessible to residents, locked gates restricting resident rights, and outdated or missing medical documentation. The facility received civil penalties and was required to submit plans of correction after the January 7, 2025 annual inspection, which cited several health and safety risks such as unsafe storage and inaccurate medication records. Earlier reports also noted issues with infection control and environmental hazards like mold and clutter, though the May 16, 2022 inspection included immediate health and safety concerns. The most recent report from January 30, 2025 did not identify new deficiencies but confirmed ongoing challenges with insulin management for a resident requiring staff assistance. Several complaint investigations were not listed, and there is no indication of license suspension or fines beyond those noted in January 2025.
The visit was an unannounced Case Management visit conducted by Licensing Program Analysts to assess the facility and verify resident care following an annual inspection.
Findings
During the visit, it was confirmed that resident R1 is on insulin on a sliding scale and is unable to determine the correct amount of insulin needed, requiring staff assistance. The Administrator requested an exception to retain R1 at the facility.
