An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on August 19, 2025, was a follow-up that confirmed correction of a previously cited deficiency related to a substantiated complaint. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly involving failure to report major incidents timely, medication administration errors, and ongoing housekeeping and maintenance issues such as damaged carpets, missing bathroom fixtures, and unclean sinks. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly concerning medication errors that resulted in hospitalization and inadequate incident reporting, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made improvements recently, with follow-up inspections frequently confirming correction of prior deficiencies.
