The most recent inspection on February 7, 2025, identified deficiencies related to delayed follow-up reporting and care coordination for a resident with unusual behaviors and medication refusal. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with incident reporting, care coordination, and documentation, including substantiated complaints about failure to report abuse and financial exploitation. Prior deficiencies mainly involved resident rights protection, staff training, medication administration, and facility maintenance. Complaint investigations were substantiated in several cases, particularly concerning incident reporting and resident protection, while some earlier complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility’s recent deficiencies reflect ongoing challenges similar to past findings, indicating a need for continued attention to reporting and care coordination processes.
