Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on April 3, 2025, identified deficiencies including incomplete staff orientation and training, lack of nurse delegation for injectable medication administration, and failure to conduct the annual fire detection system inspection, resulting in a $1,200 forfeiture and a $200 inspection fee. Earlier inspections showed a substantiated complaint in November 2024 regarding inadequate bed bug extermination procedures, leading to a Statement of Deficiency, with prior reports also noting regulatory noncompliance. The main issues across inspections involved staff training and medication delegation, as well as environmental safety related to pest control and fire system maintenance. Most complaints were unsubstantiated except for the bed bug case, and enforcement actions included fines but no license suspensions or revocations were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent findings suggest ongoing challenges with compliance, particularly in staff training and environmental safety, without a clear pattern of improvement.
