Inspection Reports Summary
An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 20, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to follow and update a resident’s service plan after significant events, resulting in the resident being found outside unsupervised. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, including deficiencies in emergency preparedness and tuberculosis testing from the April 2, 2025 annual survey, while a September 20, 2025 complaint investigation found the facility in compliance. The main themes of deficiencies involved resident care plan adherence and staff compliance with health and safety protocols. The substantiated complaint in October involved a resident safety issue linked to service plan oversight, while other complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found compliance. The inspection history suggests some ongoing challenges with procedural adherence, though recent findings focus on specific incidents rather than broad systemic issues.
