Earlier inspections showed mostly clean results, with no deficiencies found during the annual surveys in February 2023 and February 2024. A complaint investigation in November 2023 was substantiated for failure to notify a resident’s representative about worsening pressure injuries. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests some emerging issues in clinical care and infection control after a period of compliance.
