Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on June 6, 2022, identified deficiencies related to incomplete personnel files, expired CPR certification, missing physician orders, lack of physical therapy services, and incomplete nursing documentation. Earlier inspections included a similar complaint investigation in 2018 that was unsubstantiated and found no deficiencies. The main themes of deficiencies in the latest report involved documentation issues, staffing records, and provision of therapy services. Complaint investigations were partially substantiated in 2022 but unsubstantiated in 2018.
