Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on July 9, 2021, identified deficiencies related to updating medication profiles and plans of care for one patient during comprehensive assessments. Earlier inspections showed a substantiated complaint in 2017 concerning missing criminal background checks for several staff members, which was addressed with documentation provided afterward. The main themes of deficiencies involved medication management and staff background documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record suggests some improvement since the earlier complaint, though medication documentation issues persisted in the latest inspection.
