An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on May 22, 2024, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to notify the local Department of Social Services within 48 hours of incidents involving two residents, including one who sustained injuries from a fall and another who alleged inappropriate touching by a staff member. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving supervision, medication administration errors, food service issues, and safety concerns such as malfunctioning door alarms and inadequate staffing, with some incidents resulting in resident harm and hospitalizations. Complaint investigations were substantiated in several cases, including a resident ingesting mechanical dish detergent due to an unsecured kitchenette, which led to serious injury and hospitalization. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with timely incident reporting and resident supervision, with no clear improvement trend in recent years.
