Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with several complaint investigations unsubstantiated, indicating generally good compliance over time. However, some substantiated complaints involved staff rough handling residents, resulting in immediate health and safety risks and an immediate civil penalty issued in September 2022. The most recent report from December 26, 2024, cited a deficiency for an unlocked medication cart accessible to a resident who should not self-administer medications, posing an immediate risk. Another substantiated complaint that same day involved a staff member’s rough handling of a resident, leading to termination. While the facility has addressed many issues with staff training and follow-up, the pattern of occasional personal rights and medication management concerns suggests some ongoing areas for attention.
