Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 24, 2024, found no deficiencies after verifying correction of prior medication labeling and storage issues. Earlier inspections showed recurring deficiencies related mainly to medication management, including labeling, storage, and administration according to physician orders, as well as incomplete documentation and employee screening processes. Complaint investigations in 2022 and 2019 identified additional issues with medication administration, negotiated service agreements, infection control, and safety measures, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated or addressed through corrective actions. The facility appears to be improving over time, with recent revisits confirming correction of previously cited deficiencies.
