An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 30, 2025, included a complaint investigation that found a deficiency related to medication administration timing and issued a violation notice. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving medication management, staff qualifications, resident privacy, and safety measures such as securing hazardous materials. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the recent partial substantiation regarding medication timing and a prior substantiated complaint in April 2021 related to resident information confidentiality and medication orders. Enforcement actions such as violation notices and required plans of correction were noted, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges with medication management and administrative compliance, with no clear trend of improvement or worsening over time.
