Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including medication administration errors, fire drill documentation inaccuracies, and multiple safety and sanitary deficiencies noted at the time of licensing. Inspectors cited concerns mainly with resident assessments, medication management, and fire safety procedures. Complaint investigations were conducted with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports, and the facility implemented accepted plans of correction for cited deficiencies.
