Most inspections found deficiencies related primarily to medication management, resident supervision, and personal rights, with several substantiated complaints over the past two years. The facility received citations for missed or incorrect medication administration, failure to report incidents, and inadequate staff training, as well as issues with resident dignity such as loud noise disturbances and exposure of residents in common areas. Some deficiencies involved environmental safety, like water temperature exceeding limits and missing bedroom signage or furnishings. The most recent report from July 24, 2025, cited several deficiencies including medication errors and incomplete hospice care plans, indicating ongoing areas needing attention. While some older investigations found unsubstantiated complaints and no deficiencies, recent inspections show persistent challenges without a clear pattern of overall improvement.
