The facility’s most recent inspection on October 29, 2025, found no deficiencies, continuing a trend of mostly clean reports in recent years. Past deficiencies have included medication administration errors, delayed refunds, and staffing shortages, some of which posed health and safety risks, with one civil penalty issued in 2020 related to inadequate supervision that contributed to a resident’s death. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility has addressed issues such as staff training and safety protocols following incidents. The facility showed improvement over time, with no deficiencies noted in the last several inspections and appropriate responses to incidents like resident falls and abuse allegations. Overall, the record reflects isolated issues amid a generally compliant operation without recent enforcement actions or fines listed in the latest reports.
The inspection was an unannounced case management visit related to two incident reports submitted by the facility involving resident falls.
Findings
The facility responded appropriately to each fall incident, implementing safety protocols such as frequent checks and relocating a resident closer to staff. No deficiencies were issued in this report.
