The most recent inspection on December 24, 2014, found deficiencies related to notification of room changes, catheter care, medication management, food preparation, narcotic security, and physician participation in quality assurance meetings. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues, including inadequate care planning, medication errors, unsanitary food handling, and insufficient staff supervision, with one substantiated complaint involving neglect that led to pressure ulcers. Inspectors cited recurring themes in resident care, medication safety, infection control, and food service practices. Complaint investigations were mostly substantiated, notably one involving prolonged neglect of a resident resulting in physical harm. The facility demonstrated some improvement by correcting prior deficiencies, but issues persisted through the most recent survey.
