The most recent inspection on December 11, 2025, identified deficiencies related to physician orders for medication patches, environmental safety hazards, and improper medication storage. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with medication management, resident safety including side rail use and smoking materials, and care plan adherence. Complaint investigations in March 2023 substantiated concerns about inadequate supervision, restraint use in recliners, failure to timely report abuse, and medication errors, with immediate jeopardy cited but later removed after corrective actions. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with recurring themes in medication management and resident safety, showing no clear pattern of improvement.
