This facility shows recurring deficiencies in care planning and treatment delivery across all three recent surveys, with the same care planning issues appearing in 2024 and again in late 2024. Primary problem areas include developing proper care plans, following treatment orders according to resident preferences, and safety supervision. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the persistence of care planning and treatment compliance issues across multiple surveys suggests ongoing challenges with fundamental care coordination.
