An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on February 18, 2020, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies were cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care planning, medication management, infection control, and supervision, including issues with CPR certification, restorative services, and safe transfers. Several complaint investigations substantiated concerns such as inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement and medication errors resulting in adverse outcomes. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions at times, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies effectively, with multiple revisits confirming corrections and recent inspections showing improvement.
