Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on August 8, 2024, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of complaint investigations with some deficiencies related mainly to resident abuse and medication management. Prior reports cited issues such as failure to prevent physical abuse by staff, lack of secure medication storage, and inadequate policies for managing residents at risk of elopement. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports, and most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated except for a few substantiated cases involving staff abuse and medication loss. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement following earlier cited issues.
