Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance with regulations. The most recent report from October 3, 2025, had no deficiencies and confirmed that a staff member no longer associated with the facility was from an outside agency. Earlier inspections identified issues mainly related to safety risks from unsecured hazardous substances, medication handling, facility maintenance, and outdated resident care plans, with some deficiencies posing immediate safety concerns. There was a substantiated complaint in June 2025 involving a resident leaving the facility through a window due to a disabled alarm and maintenance problems. While the facility has shown some safety and documentation issues over time, the latest reports suggest improvement with no recent deficiencies cited.
The visit was an unannounced Case Management visit conducted to confirm receipt of the Default Decision and Order for Staff 1 (S1) and to verify staff association with the facility.
Findings
The Licensing Program Analysts confirmed that the Default Decision and Order document for Staff 1 was received by the facility. Staff interviews and record reviews verified that Staff 1 was from an outside agency and is no longer associated with the facility. No deficiencies were cited during this visit.
