Recent state inspections focused on documentation accuracy. Areas reviewed included resident assessment coding and record-keeping. These findings involved administrative matters rather than direct care concerns. Families touring the home can ask how resident records are maintained and reviewed.
The staffing team includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing aides who assist with daily care and activities. The home is operating near capacity, as 38 of the facility’s 39 beds are currently occupied. That may reflect strong demand and may also mean families need to contact the facility early when asking about availability.
