Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections found deficiencies related to resident safety, supervision, and documentation, with several complaint investigations substantiated. The most serious event occurred in December 2024 when inadequate supervision led to a resident eloping and sustaining multiple injuries, resulting in citations and a civil penalty for fire safety violations involving locked exit gates posing immediate health risks. Other issues included failure to update resident appraisals, delayed provision of resident records, and lapses in liability insurance coverage, though many of these were addressed through plans of correction. The most recent report from September 15, 2025, found only one remaining fire safety deficiency related to exit gate egress, showing some improvement since the serious findings in late 2024. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or had minor findings, and the facility has demonstrated progress in correcting prior violations.
