Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 31, 2016, identified some deficiencies related to federal nursing home participation requirements, including an 'F' level deficiency indicating no actual harm but potential for more than minimal harm; these issues were addressed with a plan of correction and later verified as corrected on the same date. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving emergency call system functionality, care planning and assessment processes, infection control, and documentation, with several complaint investigations substantiating issues in individualized care and resident safety. Notable complaint investigations included failures in emergency call system testing frequency and individualized care planning for residents with urinary incontinence, as well as some neglect allegations related to fall prevention and reporting. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows repeated citations in similar areas but also demonstrates correction of deficiencies over time, indicating efforts toward compliance and improvement.
