Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on May 8, 2025, found multiple deficiencies related to resident assessments, medication availability and documentation, psychotropic medication reviews, and service agreements. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with resident care documentation and medication management, as well as recurring fire and life safety deficiencies such as missing emergency testing documentation, inadequate staff training, and electrical hazards. Complaint investigations in January 2022 substantiated concerns about fall investigations, infection control, and staffing levels. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, with no clear improvement trend over time.
