An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on October 2, 2024, found deficiencies related to resident personal equipment entrapment risks, medication storage issues, and incomplete support plan documentation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues including medication administration errors, staff training gaps, unsafe resident equipment, and documentation deficiencies. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse and neglect in prior years, resulting in staff suspension, but more recent complaints were unsubstantiated or addressed with accepted plans of correction. Enforcement actions included suspension of an employee after substantiated abuse and no fines or license revocations were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with medication management and resident safety equipment, with some improvements noted in follow-up inspections but recurring themes persisting over time.
