The most recent inspection on June 12, 2025, included a complaint investigation that found deficiencies related to medication self-administration assessment, air filter cleanliness, and BiPAP mask storage. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with medication self-administration orders and care planning, as well as infection control and environmental safety concerns such as temperature control and fire safety code compliance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with the exception of a few substantiated complaints that resulted in cited deficiencies but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility corrected prior deficiencies identified in earlier surveys, including those related to infection control and care planning. The recent findings suggest some ongoing challenges with medication management and environmental maintenance, but the overall trend shows efforts to address and resolve prior issues.
