Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care planning, consent and notification processes, infection control, medication management, and investigation of incidents and complaints. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues including inadequate pressure ulcer care, failure to protect residents from abuse, incomplete incident investigations, and harm resulting from care plan failures. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports.
