Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on November 18, 2025, found deficiencies related to foot care, specifically a lack of routine podiatry treatment for one resident and missing policies on scheduling such care. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies in resident services, environmental standards, medication management, and infection control, with multiple reports citing issues in resident dignity, care planning, and food service safety. A notable complaint investigation in September 2023 substantiated neglect involving a resident who fell and was left unattended for hours, with additional failures in medication administration and incident reporting. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with resident care and environment, with some recent focus on specific clinical care areas but no clear overall improvement trend.
