Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on November 5, 2025, resulted in conditions placed on the facility’s license due to ongoing non-compliance, requiring the hiring of a Registered Nurse Consultant to improve medication ordering and staff training. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of recurring deficiencies primarily related to medication management, infection control, resident rights, and fire safety documentation. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues including medication nonavailability leading to resident hospitalization, restrictions on resident access causing distress, and failures in abuse reporting and infection control practices. The facility received civil fines for infection control violations but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates persistent challenges with compliance, with some issues recurring over multiple inspections and no clear pattern of sustained improvement.
