Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 22, 2024, identified two deficiencies related to fire life safety, including kitchen doors that would not self-close and prohibited use of a relocatable power tap in a resident room. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with door self-closing mechanisms and documentation, as well as medication refrigerator temperature control and timely reporting of resident falls. Inspectors cited concerns mainly involving fire safety equipment, medication storage, and regulatory notifications. Complaint investigations were conducted, with one in March 2024 lacking a clear substantiation status and another in January 2023 tied to notification and recordkeeping deficiencies. The facility’s deficiencies have recurred in some areas, particularly fire safety and medication management, indicating ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement or worsening.
