Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Missouri average: 100 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on August 20, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, infection control, and facility safety. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues, including inadequate supervision to prevent elopement, incomplete care documentation, and failures in accommodating resident needs and maintaining a safe environment. Deficiencies frequently involved resident assistance with daily living activities, pressure ulcer prevention, medication monitoring, and sanitary food storage. A complaint investigation in July 2024 was substantiated regarding inadequate supervision that allowed a resident to exit the facility unsupervised. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with compliance, with no clear improvement trend over time.
