Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 19, 2024, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no new deficiencies. Earlier inspections had cited multiple deficiencies related to care planning, pressure ulcer prevention, resident safety, staff performance reviews, medication management, antipsychotic medication use, and food service safety. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with the exception of a substantiated case in 2016 involving failure to implement a physician-ordered chair alarm that resulted in a resident fall and injury. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new Medicare admissions in 2015 due to deficiencies at a level of actual harm that was not immediate jeopardy. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, correcting prior deficiencies and maintaining compliance in the most recent survey.
