Inspections(4)
The November 2025 inspection identified six fire safety violations including combustible storage in electrical room, improper extension cord use, gas appliance tethering issues, missing fire/smoke damper correction documentation, lack of emergency lighting test records, and two malfunctioning fire doors. These were procedural and maintenance deficiencies with no immediate life-safety threat. The facility responded appropriately by correcting all violations, as confirmed by the February 2026 follow-up inspection showing full compliance and approval status restoration.
View original report →A medication technician administered morning medications to a resident without documenting them on the electronic MAR, leading to a second staff member administering a duplicate dose later in the shift. The double-dose required emergency room evaluation and cardiac monitoring. The facility promptly contacted Poison Control, acknowledged the policy violation, and management confirmed staff failed to follow documentation procedures, with corrective actions implemented and verified by follow-up inspection showing full compliance.
View original report →The facility had water temperature violations in multiple common area restrooms and laundry rooms, with temperatures ranging from 122.7°F to 127°F, exceeding the regulatory maximum of 120°F. This placed all 40 residents at risk for scalding injuries and infection control issues. The facility responded appropriately by acknowledging the deficiency, implementing corrective measures, and completing corrections by the target date. A follow-up inspection on 10/04/2024 confirmed all deficiencies were corrected and the facility met licensing requirements.
View original report →The August 2024 inspection identified eight violations including electrical hazards (open junction boxes, blocked panels), fire safety issues (non-latching fire doors, blocked extinguishers), missing documentation (fire-rated construction inspections, sprinkler system tests, emergency power tests), and improper use of multi-plug adapters. These violations represent a pattern of maintenance and compliance deficiencies affecting fire safety systems, though none posed immediate life-threatening danger. The facility responded appropriately, correcting all violations by the October 2024 follow-up inspection, demonstrating good corrective action and timely remediation within the two-month period.
