Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations resulting in unsubstantiated allegations. However, some reports cited deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, incident reporting, and personal rights violations. The most serious issues included immediate health and safety risks from medication errors, inadequate supervision leading to resident falls, and failure to report incidents timely, with civil penalties assessed in some cases. The most recent report from October 15, 2025, found one deficiency involving late notification to the licensing agency about a resident elopement but no immediate safety concerns. Overall, the facility shows some improvement in compliance over time, though isolated issues with reporting and resident rights have recurred.
An unannounced Case Management visit was conducted in conjunction with Complaint #29-AS-20250818182949 regarding a resident elopement incident that occurred on 08/01/2025.
Findings
The facility failed to notify Community Care Licensing (CCL) of the elopement incident within the required timeframe, constituting a violation of reporting requirements. No immediate safety concerns were observed during the visit.

The visit was triggered by a complaint received on 08/18/2025 regarding Resident #1 eloping from the facility on 08/01/2025. The complaint was substantiated by the finding that the facility did not notify CCL in a timely manner.
