The most recent report from September 19, 2024, identified issues with recognizing and documenting hemodialysis treatment, conflicting service plan interventions, and unlicensed personnel performing blood sugar checks without proper follow-up. Earlier reports noted similar concerns with outdated or untimely service plans, missing safety precautions, and medication reviews. There were no fines, enforcement actions, or immediate jeopardy findings listed in the available reports. While deficiencies have persisted over time, they mostly involve documentation and care planning rather than severe safety issues.
