The most recent inspection on November 6, 2018, found deficiencies related to resident dignity during dining, care plan updates, infection control hand hygiene, emergency lighting, fire safety, and maintenance issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving life safety code compliance, fire safety, care planning, infection control, and restorative program monitoring. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated issue in 2017 regarding fall alarm maintenance that was promptly corrected; no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted repeated challenges with fire door closures, sprinkler maintenance, and medication monitoring, but the facility took corrective actions over time. The trend suggests ongoing attention is needed in safety and care documentation, with some improvements in complaint outcomes but persistent facility maintenance concerns.
