The most recent inspection on June 27, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with several investigations substantiated and deficiencies cited primarily in medication management, resident care practices, and documentation of rights and notifications. Inspectors noted issues such as missed medication doses, failure to follow physician orders, inadequate supervision to prevent resident-to-resident abuse, and improper use of restraints. Complaint investigations were often unsubstantiated, though some substantiated complaints led to citations, including medication errors and failure to provide required dental services. The facility appears to have made improvements in recent months, with the latest inspections showing compliance after addressing prior concerns.
