The most recent inspection on September 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to residents’ privacy and incomplete clinical record documentation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with clinical documentation, medication administration, respiratory care, infection control, and resident privacy. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about medication errors, inadequate wound and respiratory care, privacy violations, and incomplete medical records, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility provided staff training in response to some findings, and while deficiencies have appeared consistently, the issues generally involve documentation, care procedures, and infection control rather than immediate jeopardy or license actions. There is no clear trend of improvement or worsening, as deficiencies have been noted across multiple areas over time.
