The most recent inspection on November 26, 2025, found a deficiency related to a bathroom call system that did not signal staff and had an inaccessible call cord. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving staffing shortages, medication management errors, physical plant hazards such as trip risks from damaged carpets, and cleanliness issues including housekeeping and kitchen sanitation. Complaint investigations in the past included substantiated concerns about resident safety, medication errors, and environmental conditions, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. While the facility has repeatedly faced challenges with physical plant maintenance and staffing levels, some more recent issues mirror prior findings, indicating ongoing areas needing attention. There is no clear pattern of overall improvement or worsening based on the available inspection history.
