Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on April 18, 2025, found one deficiency related to the facility’s failure to include in a resident’s assessment that they could leave unsupervised. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving medication management, reporting incidents, infection control, and safety systems, with some issues corrected in follow-up inspections. Inspectors cited recurring themes such as failure to report resident falls and incidents, medication errors, unreliable call pendant systems, and fire safety documentation gaps. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including issues with medication practices, staffing shortages, and incident reporting, while some allegations like inappropriate staff conduct were unsubstantiated. The facility has shown some improvement in correcting prior deficiencies, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges in resident assessment and safety protocols.
