Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on July 22, 2025, which was clean and showed the facility in good repair and compliant with licensing requirements. Earlier reports included a substantiated complaint from March 4, 2025, where staff failed to meet a resident’s needs on one occasion, resulting in the resident being found on the floor and soiled; corrective actions were taken. Other isolated issues involved inadequate staffing in a memory care unit in 2019, a safety concern over outdated fire extinguisher servicing in 2022, and a $500 fine in 2021 for a staff member lacking required criminal clearance. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including one about improper fees. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections consistently free of deficiencies.
An unannounced complaint investigation visit was conducted to investigate the allegation that facility staff did not meet the resident's needs.
Findings
The investigation found that on one occasion over a holiday weekend, a resident was found on the floor in their pajamas, had not had breakfast, and was soiled due to a registry staff not being aware of the resident's typical schedule. The allegation was substantiated, and corrective actions including staff reminders and care plan updates were implemented.
Complaint Details
The complaint was substantiated based on the investigation of the allegation that facility staff did not meet the resident's needs. The resident slid out of bed without alerting staff, and corrective measures were taken including staff reminders and care plan updates.
