The most recent inspection on December 18, 2024, found deficiencies related to residents’ privacy, baseline care planning, nursing competency including medication errors, medical record accuracy, and infection control practices. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with pressure ulcer care, medication administration, and care plan updates, along with failures in following physician orders and maintaining respiratory equipment. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about missed medication doses and inadequate pressure injury prevention, with actual harm noted in one case, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted problems with maintaining resident dignity and medication management, including expired drugs on medication carts. The facility’s deficiencies appear consistent over time without a clear trend of improvement or worsening.
