Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 30, 2017, found no outstanding deficiencies, confirming that previously cited issues had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care planning, supervision to prevent elopement and falls, medication management, dietary services, and maintaining sanitary conditions in food preparation and the environment. Several complaint investigations substantiated failures in supervision and care, including incidents of residents leaving the facility unsupervised and inadequate fall prevention measures, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility also faced repeated citations for infection control and medication administration issues over time. The trend indicates improvement, with the most recent inspections showing correction of prior deficiencies and acceptance of plans of correction.
