Inspection Report Summary for Harmony at West Shore

The most recent inspection on January 15, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies including resident abuse incidents, failure to report abuse and medication errors, privacy violations, and incomplete resident assessments. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues such as abuse reporting failures, medication management problems, unsecured poisonous materials, and documentation deficiencies. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, notably involving resident abuse and neglect resulting in injuries, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Plans of correction have been accepted and partially implemented at times, but recurring deficiencies suggest ongoing challenges in areas of resident safety, abuse prevention, and medication administration. The inspection history indicates persistent issues without a clear trend of sustained improvement.
