Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found deficiencies related to environment and safety, such as lack of grab bars in bathrooms, unlocked scissors, and a staff bedroom located inside the kitchen, which posed immediate health and safety risks. Medication management was also a concern in an earlier report where prescribed medications were not administered as directed. The most recent inspection on September 13, 2024, identified several deficiencies including safety hazards and fingerprint clearance issues, resulting in civil penalties and required corrective plans. Some earlier reports showed no deficiencies, including the October 31, 2023 inspection, indicating some improvement before the latest findings. Several complaint investigations were not part of these reports, so no substantiated complaints were noted.
