The most recent inspection on June 10, 2025, found deficiencies related to monitoring and supervision of residents with serious cognitive impairments, including issues with door alarms and security measures. Earlier inspections showed a recurring pattern of similar deficiencies in supervision and safety for these residents, with prior reports also citing failures to prevent wandering from the memory care unit. Previous inspections identified other issues such as incomplete staff training on infection control, emergency preparedness, and documentation of staff certifications. Complaint investigations were not noted in the available reports, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges in resident supervision, with no clear improvement trend in this area over time.
