An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 1, 2025, found a deficiency related to failure to report suspected abuse or neglect within the required 24-hour timeframe. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern with deficiencies involving resident care issues such as medication management, safe resident handling, and secure environments for memory care residents. Complaint investigations included several substantiated cases involving inadequate supervision, delayed incident reporting, and medication administration errors, but many complaint surveys found no deficiencies. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges in regulatory compliance with some improvements noted in periods without deficiencies, though recent findings indicate continued areas needing attention.
