Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on September 30, 2025, identified deficiencies related to fall risk rating updates and documentation of fall analyses, as well as incomplete documentation of hourly rounds for a resident unable to use a signaling device. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care documentation, medication management, staffing and supervision records, and building maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though some substantiated complaints involved medication administration errors, delayed responses to resident call signals, and issues with resident rights, including staff misconduct that led to terminations. Enforcement actions such as violation notices were issued, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with documentation and medication management, with some recent improvements in physical plant conditions and staff training compliance.
