Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, indicating generally consistent compliance with regulations. However, there were multiple substantiated deficiencies primarily related to medication management, resident care, documentation, and facility maintenance, including some posing immediate health and safety risks. Notably, the facility received civil penalties totaling $25,000 in 2024 for failures in care and supervision that led to serious resident injuries and a death, and there was a substantiated issue with illegal drug use on the premises in late 2024. The most recent report from October 1, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies and unsubstantiated allegations. This suggests some improvement in recent months, although past serious issues highlight areas of concern.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by an allegation that staff did not accord resident dignity in their relationship with staff or residents.
Findings
The investigation included interviews, record reviews, and a facility tour. The allegation was found to be unsubstantiated due to inconsistent statements and lack of evidence. The facility addressed the issue by relocating one resident to a private room to avoid further conflict.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged that staff did not accord resident dignity. The investigation revealed a disagreement between two residents about a bedroom door being open or closed, with no witnessed physical altercation. The allegation was deemed unsubstantiated.
