An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on March 23, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inadequate supervision of residents, resulting in harm, and failure to protect residents from physical abuse by another resident. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident supervision, health care follow-up, and physical plant safety, including prior substantiated complaints about delayed medical response and unmet acute health needs. Main themes across reports included supervision lapses leading to resident harm, failures in health care referrals and follow-up, and ongoing physical plant and safety code deficiencies. Complaint investigations were substantiated in multiple cases, including a resident left on the floor for several hours after a fall and inadequate supervision of aggressive behaviors, with no fines or license actions listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests persistent challenges with supervision and health care coordination, with no clear improvement trend over time.
