Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on December 23, 2025, identified deficiencies related to discharge planning, including failure to develop a final summary, provide a post-discharge care plan, and supply a discharge summary release consent for one resident. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with complaint investigations and nursing services documentation, with prior findings including incomplete neglect investigations and documentation gaps in nursing care and wound assessment. Complaint investigations were substantiated in some cases, particularly regarding inadequate neglect investigations and discharge planning, while others were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring challenges with documentation and investigation procedures, with no clear trend of consistent improvement or worsening over time.
