An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on January 30, 2025, found no deficiencies during the re-licensure and state licensure survey. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies related to nursing care standards, medication management, accident prevention, and administrative processes, including an immediate jeopardy finding in December 2023 that was resolved after corrective actions. Prior reports also noted issues with discharge planning, dialysis monitoring, and COVID-19 reporting, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were not substantiated in the available data. The inspection history suggests improvement over time, culminating in a clean most recent survey.
