The most recent inspection on July 16, 2024, found two deficiencies related to fall prevention training and failure to provide required death notification. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving caregiver skills verification, policy implementation, and documentation, with enforcement actions including civil fines for repeated caregiver verification issues. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for the July 2024 inspection, which identified specific training and notification issues. Enforcement actions included fines of $250 in mid-2023 and June 2024, with no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with staff training and documentation, with some repeated issues but no clear worsening or improvement trend.
