Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 14, 2025, identified deficiencies related to staff training, infection control, tuberculosis screening, and supervision of residents with dementia, including issues with resident safety and abuse prevention. Earlier inspections showed similar concerns, particularly around disaster preparedness and the Alzheimer's and dementia program, including missed tornado drills and elopement incidents. Inspectors cited ongoing challenges with staff orientation and training, infection control procedures, and ensuring a safe environment for residents with cognitive impairments. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports, and no complaint investigations were noted. The pattern of deficiencies suggests persistent issues in staff training and resident supervision that have not yet been fully resolved.
