Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on January 13, 2025, found deficiencies related to incomplete resident assessments and support plans addressing behavioral and safety needs. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of multiple deficiencies including staffing shortages, medication management errors, confidentiality breaches, sanitary and maintenance issues, and incidents of resident abuse. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse and neglect cases, as well as confidentiality violations, though many complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included issuance of provisional licenses and fines, with no license suspensions or revocations listed in the available reports. While some corrective plans were fully implemented, the facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident care documentation and environmental conditions.
