Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including the most recent one on November 14, 2024, which found no issues with medical care, staffing, or fees. The facility had isolated deficiencies in the past, such as incomplete resident physician reports noted on August 28, 2023, and a failure to reappraise a resident’s wound in late 2022, both considered risks but without enforcement actions or fines listed. Earlier annual inspections and complaint investigations consistently showed compliance with infection control, safety, and care standards. The overall trend suggests improvement, with the latest reports showing no deficiencies after previous isolated issues. There were no license suspensions, fines, or severe enforcement actions reported in the available records.
The visit was an unannounced complaint investigation conducted in response to allegations including staff not seeking timely medical care for a resident, the facility not meeting residents' needs timely, inadequate staffing, and charging extra fees not on the care plan.
Findings
The investigation included interviews, record reviews, and physical inspection. The allegations were found to be unsubstantiated based on evidence obtained from interviews and records.
