Most inspections found no deficiencies, reflecting a generally compliant facility with appropriate infection control, safety measures, and resident care practices. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations of inadequate supervision, improper staff conduct, and facility disrepair. The one substantiated deficiency occurred in August 2025 when a medication error was reported involving a substitute technician giving medication to the wrong resident; this was addressed with staff training and improved procedures, and no harm resulted. The most recent report from September 4, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies and unsubstantiated allegations. Overall, the facility’s record shows mostly consistent compliance with isolated issues related to medication management that have been addressed.
The inspection was an unannounced complaint investigation visit triggered by allegations that facility staff did not provide adequate supervision to a resident in care and did not seek medical attention in a timely manner.
Findings
The investigation found that the facility staff checked on the resident at least every two hours and contacted hospice regularly regarding the resident's condition. The written plan of care required frequent checks but did not specify exact frequency. There was insufficient evidence to prove the allegations; therefore, both allegations were found to be unsubstantiated or unfounded.
Complaint Details
The complaint investigation was unsubstantiated regarding inadequate supervision and unfounded regarding failure to seek medical attention in a timely manner. The findings concluded there was no preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violations occurred.
