The facility’s inspection history from 2021 to 2023 shows a generally compliant operation with a few notable events. In February 2021, an unannounced health‑and‑safety visit documented the death of a resident following a self‑inflicted gunshot. The investigators concluded no evidence of neglect or inadequate care; no citations were issued. A subsequent visit in May 2021 reviewed the same incident, reaffirming that the resident’s death occurred after a recent transfer from a skilled‑nursing facility and that the facility’s records reflected no lapses in supervision. These early findings underscored a pattern of prompt response and thorough documentation during crises.
The facility continued to expand its services, launching a new memory‑care building in August 2021 and undergoing a required annual audit in November 2022. The audit noted a well‑maintained environment, up‑to‑date medical records, and robust infection‑control protocols. Visitors were screened, emergency supplies were adequate, and residents appeared engaged in a variety of activities. No deficiencies emerged in either the memory‑care rollout or the year‑long compliance review, suggesting the organization successfully integrated new services while maintaining regulatory standards.
A divergence occurred in October 2023 when a deficiency was cited for failure to report a July 2023 fire caused by an electrical circuit in the steam well. The licensing agency’s investigation revealed that the fire was not reported to the department by the required next working day, violating Title 22 reporting requirements. Consequently, a citation was issued, and a corrective plan was required. This isolated lapse highlights a specific gap in the facility’s incident‑reporting procedures, despite otherwise strong compliance. The organization’s ability to correct the deficiency will be monitored in forthcoming visits, reinforcing the importance of timely communication with regulatory authorities in addition to maintaining day‑to‑day operational standards.
