The most recent inspection on November 4, 2020, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to provide timely written notice of a fee increase to a resident’s family. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with notification of changes in charges and services, as well as concerns about staffing in the Memory Care Unit and fire safety and maintenance deficiencies. Complaint investigations substantiated problems with fee increase notifications and staffing levels that led to a resident eloping without staff awareness. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests some recurring administrative and staffing issues, but more recent inspections show fewer and less varied deficiencies.
