Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on August 20, 2024, identified deficiencies related to administration, quality management, patient rights, hospice services, and infection control. Earlier inspections were not detailed in the available reports, so broader patterns are unclear. The main issues involved failures in governing authority oversight, medication management, quality improvement documentation, protection against patient retaliation, personnel assignments, and infection control program implementation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were substantiated in this case, and there is no clear trend due to limited historical data.
