Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on October 29, 2025, found that two substantiated complaints did not result in any cited violations. Earlier inspections identified deficiencies related to fall prevention, medication administration, physician assessments, tuberculosis screenings, and staffing for elopement prevention. Inspectors cited failures to implement fall prevention interventions after resident injuries, missed medication administrations affecting multiple residents, incomplete physician assessments, and insufficient staffing and training to prevent elopement. Complaint investigations included substantiated findings for falls and elopement incidents, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility has taken corrective actions such as staff training, adding alarms, and policy updates, but the pattern of deficiencies suggests ongoing challenges with resident safety and care processes.
