An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 4, 2025, found multiple deficiencies related to medication administration errors, obstructed egress due to energized magnetic locks, and incomplete staff training, among other issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication management concerns, egress obstructions, incomplete resident assessments, and some instances of abuse and unsecured hazardous materials. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for a substantiated abuse incident noted in April 2025, which was addressed with a plan of correction. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some responsiveness by implementing accepted plans of correction, but deficiencies have recurred over time without a clear trend of sustained improvement.
