Key Review Excerpts
“My husband is a patient there and he was rushed to the hospital this morning because he had fallen out of bed. They got him to the hospital and the hospital was appalled at the condition he was in. My husband can not speak or walk or feed himself. And he was malnourished, he was septic, and his catheter had.not been changed.”

The facility shows recurring problems with accident prevention and safety hazards across multiple years, along with issues in resident protection, medication management, and infection control. While most past deficiencies have been corrected, the pattern of safety concerns and recent complaint-triggered violations warrant careful consideration during any visit.
