Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies related primarily to failure to prevent resident abuse and issues with resident safety, including care planning for fall prevention and maintenance of safe premises. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a few inspections that cited deficiencies connected to abuse prevention and resident safety, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior surveys also noted some deficiencies related to Life Safety Code issues such as fire alarm systems and corridor doors.
