Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent complaint investigation on October 7, 2025, which was unsubstantiated regarding lack of supervision after a resident-on-resident injury. Earlier reports showed isolated issues, such as a substantiated complaint in August 2024 about the facility not issuing a $2,000 pre-admission fee refund, and medication storage deficiencies cited in April 2025 that were later corrected. No fines, enforcement actions, or severe findings were noted in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections free of deficiencies. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, supporting a generally compliant environment.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by an allegation of lack of supervision resulting in resident-on-resident abuse with serious injury.
Findings
The investigation found that although a resident (R1) sustained an injury after reportedly being pushed by another resident (R2), there was no corroborating evidence that lack of supervision caused the incident. Both residents have neurocognitive disorders, but R2 was not noted to have aggressive behavior. The allegation was determined to be unsubstantiated due to insufficient evidence.
Complaint Details
The complaint alleged lack of supervision leading to resident-on-resident abuse causing serious injury. The investigation included staff interviews and record reviews. The allegation was found unsubstantiated as there was no preponderance of evidence to prove the violation occurred.
