Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 6, 2025, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to develop and implement a complete, person-centered care plan for one resident. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including inadequate resident transfers, multiple care and safety deficiencies such as fall prevention, medication management, infection control, and food safety. Complaint investigations identified problems with timely medical care after falls, incomplete abuse investigations, infection control lapses, and failure to offer influenza immunizations, though most complaints were unsubstantiated beyond these findings. Enforcement actions or fines were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with care planning and safety practices, with no clear trend of improvement or worsening over time.
