The most recent inspection on September 30, 2025, identified deficiencies related to management of services, resident assessment and service plans, reporting requirements, and housekeeping. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues, including failure to update assessments and service plans, delayed reporting of incidents and suspected abuse, and environmental safety concerns. Complaint investigations were often substantiated, with notable findings involving failure to report suspected abuse and inadequate safety measures in the memory care unit; enforcement actions such as a no trespass order were issued in one case, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The main themes across inspections involved resident care documentation, timely reporting, and maintaining a safe environment. Recent findings suggest ongoing challenges with compliance, as deficiencies have persisted over time without a clear trend of improvement.
