Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care, safety, infection control, and meal service, as well as substantiated complaints of staff verbal abuse and inadequate abuse investigations. Inspectors cited failures to protect residents from verbal abuse, incomplete investigations of abuse and theft allegations, and lapses in infection prevention and quality assurance practices. Complaint investigations were substantiated in cases of verbal abuse, resulting in staff termination, but most other complaints were unsubstantiated or lacked thorough follow-up. The facility’s recent inspection results indicate ongoing challenges with resident care and investigation processes, with no clear improvement trend evident.
