Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on September 16, 2025, identified deficiencies related to medication management, specifically staff failing to obtain hospital discharge paperwork and timely follow-up with the pharmacy, resulting in missed medication doses. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, including a substantiated complaint in August 2024 where the facility did not ensure a resident’s safety according to her service plan, leading to elopement and injury. Prior reports from 2023 and 2024 noted substantial compliance with licensing requirements and no deficiencies. Complaint investigations included substantiated cases involving medication management and resident safety, while other complaints were not listed or unsubstantiated. The inspection history indicates some ongoing challenges with administrative oversight and resident care, without clear evidence of consistent improvement or worsening over time.
