Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues involving medication management and food storage, along with isolated concerns about support plan updates and documentation.

Complaint investigations were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows recurring medication and food-related deficiencies, but these have been consistently addressed with corrective actions over time.
