Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 7, 2025, found one deficiency related to failure to update a resident’s assessment and negotiated service agreement to include aggressive behaviors during care. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving medication management, care coordination, and failure to notify appropriate authorities about health issues. Complaint investigations substantiated issues such as medication errors leading to hospitalization, inadequate care planning for behavioral and wound care, and failure to report a communicable disease outbreak, resulting in several civil fines. Enforcement actions included multiple civil fines related to medication storage and administration errors, but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The facility showed some improvement with periods of no deficiencies following corrective actions, though medication management and care documentation issues recurred over time.
