Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent report on October 24, 2025, which was clean and fully compliant with regulations. Earlier reports showed some deficiencies mainly related to resident supervision, personal rights violations, and failure to report incidents such as falls and weight changes to physicians or responsible parties. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly involving inadequate supervision leading to resident falls and safety risks from accessible hazardous items, but many other complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility received a $500 fine in late 2022 for fall prevention failures, and a few minor penalties were issued for issues like missing Ombudsman contact information and documentation gaps. The trend shows improvement over time, with recent annual inspections consistently free of deficiencies and no enforcement actions reported in the latest visits.
The visit was an unannounced continuation of the annual inspection to ensure compliance with Title 22 regulations and to conduct a case management annual continuation inspection.
Findings
The facility was found to be in compliance with Title 22 regulations with no citations issued. The inspection included a physical plant tour, review of personnel and resident records, medication audit, infection control and emergency disaster planning review, staff and resident interviews, and review of maintenance and safety systems.
