Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on October 2, 2013, identified deficiencies related to care plans, medication monitoring, infection control, food sanitation, and resident privacy. Earlier inspections showed similar issues, including inadequate care planning, medication side effect monitoring, infection control practices, and environmental safety concerns. Complaint investigations in September 2013 substantiated many of these deficiencies, particularly around individualized care plans, medication documentation, food handling, and privacy. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility corrected prior deficiencies by the October 2013 revisit, indicating some improvement, but recurring issues suggest ongoing challenges in maintaining full compliance.
