An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on July 8, 2025, identified several deficiencies related to staff training, emergency preparedness, medication management, and resident rights. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so it is unclear if these issues represent a new or ongoing pattern. Inspectors cited failures to document tornado drills, incomplete employee orientation and training, insufficient qualified staffing for residents with Alzheimer's and dementia, and a failure to administer ordered pain medication that led to a hospital transfer. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. Without additional inspection history, it is not possible to determine a clear trend in compliance.
