Most inspections found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or unfounded, indicating generally good compliance. Some deficiencies were cited in 2023 related to documentation issues, including failure to update and obtain signatures on residents’ Needs and Services Plans, inadequate supervision of a resident with dementia who eloped, and an illegal immediate eviction without proper notice. No fines, license suspensions, or immediate jeopardy findings were reported. The most recent report from December 11, 2024, was free of deficiencies and noted the facility was clean and well-maintained, showing improvement in addressing prior documentation and training concerns. Overall, issues primarily involved resident care documentation and regulatory compliance, with no pattern of severe or repeated violations.
An unannounced annual inspection was conducted to evaluate the facility's compliance with licensing requirements and overall care standards.
Findings
The facility was found to be clean, safe, and well-maintained with proper food storage and fire safety measures. Some technical violations were noted regarding outdated medical assessments for dementia residents and incomplete first aid and CPR training for staff, but no deficiencies were cited.
