The most recent inspection on May 13, 2024, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies. Prior to that, the April 24, 2024 inspection identified deficiencies related to coordination of health care services for a resident’s sexual behaviors, incomplete documentation of emergency management plan reviews, and improper food temperature, with complaint investigations finding no evidence of abuse. Earlier inspections noted issues primarily with medication administration, documentation, negotiated service agreements, emergency preparedness, and tuberculosis screening compliance. A notable enforcement action occurred in 2016 involving immediate jeopardy for failure to report and investigate abuse allegations promptly, but no fines or license suspensions are listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies over time, showing improvement with the most recent inspection being free of citations.
