Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 23, 2024, substantiated a complaint but did not result in any regulatory deficiencies. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to infection prevention and control, medication storage and administration, resident room cleanliness and maintenance, and safety issues such as unsecured oxygen cylinders and fire safety concerns. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though some earlier complaints were substantiated with deficiencies, particularly regarding wound care and documentation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies, as follow-up surveys frequently noted corrections, indicating some improvement over time despite recurring issues in certain areas.
