Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 12, 2024, identified deficiencies related to incomplete nursing assessments, ineffective corrective actions to prevent resident falls, missing psychotropic medication reviews, and the absence of a Certified Food Protection Manager. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident care documentation, fall prevention, medication management, and life safety concerns such as inadequate fire safety measures and improper use of electrical equipment. Complaint investigations found a substantiated case involving delayed reporting of a missing resident who later died, along with insufficient staffing and poor care documentation. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with clinical assessments and safety compliance, with no clear improvement trend over time.
