Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on December 12, 2023, found deficiencies related to staff qualifications, wound care, individual service plans, incident reporting, resident rights, nutrition, and food safety. Earlier inspections were mostly free of deficiencies, with no citations noted during several surveys in 2020 and prior compliance confirmed in 2015. The main themes of deficiencies involved inadequate staff training and experience, failure to update care plans, delayed incident reporting, and issues with nutrition and food safety practices. Complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests that after a period of compliance, recent inspections have identified multiple areas needing improvement.
