Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on July 29, 2025, found a deficiency related to resident consent documentation for admission to the secured dementia care unit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving medication management, unsecured poisonous materials, support plan documentation, and safety concerns such as unlocked medication carts and improper locking mechanisms. Complaint investigations substantiated issues including failure to report incidents timely, medication errors, and resident neglect, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, with corrective actions and plans of correction accepted and implemented. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with documentation and medication practices, though recent follow-up inspections indicate efforts toward compliance and correction.
