Earlier inspections showed a mix of issues including financial exploitation of a resident by a former employee, incomplete care plans, infection control lapses, and medication administration errors. Complaint investigations substantiated exploitation involving unauthorized withdrawals totaling $4,671.22, which the facility reimbursed, and other complaints about care planning and reporting were also noted. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges with medication security and resident protections, with some corrective actions taken but no clear pattern of overall improvement or worsening.
