Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. The facility had isolated issues in late 2023 and early 2024, including a lack of current liability insurance and excessively hot water temperature, as well as a substantiated complaint in February 2024 where staff abandoned a resident at the hospital after non-payment for services. These issues were addressed with proof of correction verified in May 2024, and the most recent annual inspection on November 21, 2024, found no deficiencies. No fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The record shows improvement over time, with the latest report indicating compliance with all regulations.

An unannounced complaint investigation was conducted in response to allegations received on 04/19/2023 regarding admission agreement signatures, refusal to provide care information, and overcharging of a resident.
Findings
The investigation found the allegations to be unsubstantiated based on records review and interviews with the Administrator, Reporting Party, and witness. It was unclear if staff failed to have the resident's authorized representative sign the admission agreement, refused to provide care information, or overcharged the resident.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was unsubstantiated. Allegations included staff not having the resident's authorized representative sign an admission agreement, refusal to provide care information to the authorized representative, and overcharging the resident.

The hospital paid the admission fee initially, and the admission agreement was signed by the hospital, not the resident's husband.
