The most recent inspection on February 20, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies including issues with dignified dining assistance, medication administration errors, incomplete PASARR screenings, wound and foot care, timely laboratory testing, grievance filing, transfer notifications, and cleaning of medical equipment. Earlier inspections showed similar concerns, such as resident dignity, PASARR assessments, medication errors, and care planning, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations in 2021 substantiated deficiencies related to care planning, medication administration, psychotropic medication monitoring, drug storage, food safety, and quality assurance. Most complaints were substantiated, and medication errors have been a recurring issue across inspections. The pattern of deficiencies suggests ongoing challenges without clear improvement over time.
