Most inspections before licensing showed no deficiencies, indicating the facility met initial requirements well. However, the most recent inspection on January 22, 2025, found multiple deficiencies including staff lacking required fingerprint clearance and health screenings, unsafe placement of a non-ambulatory resident, unlocked hazardous cleaning supplies, and missing doctor orders for bed rails. A $500 civil penalty was issued for the fingerprint clearance violation. These issues mainly involved staff compliance, resident safety, and environmental hazards. There is a clear decline in compliance compared to earlier clean reports.
An unannounced 1-Year Required inspection was conducted to evaluate compliance with licensing regulations and facility safety standards.
Findings
The inspection found multiple deficiencies including staff not having required health screenings and fingerprint clearance, a non-ambulatory resident placed in an ambulatory room, unlocked hazardous cleaning supplies, and lack of doctor orders for half bed rails. A civil penalty of $500 was assessed for staff fingerprint clearance violation.
