The most recent inspection on September 20, 2018, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no new deficiencies. Prior inspections showed multiple deficiencies related mainly to resident care planning, notification procedures, medication management, food safety, and staffing, with several plans of correction submitted and accepted. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Earlier reports documented issues such as fall prevention, abuse reporting, infection control, and dietary services, some resulting in citations at harm levels that were not immediate jeopardy but prompted enforcement remedies. The trend shows improvement over time, with the facility correcting prior deficiencies and achieving compliance by the most recent survey.
