Summary
The facility failed to maintain a safe, functional, sanitary, and comfortable environment for residents, staff, and the public. Observations revealed multiple deficiencies in the exterior areas, including crumbling blocks in the retaining wall on the west end of the property, an overgrown propane tank area with a wooden fence in disrepair, crumbling brickwork in the loading dock wall, black water staining on the east exterior wall stucco, and grounds along the west exterior wall that were littered and had a build-up of leaves and overgrown vegetation. These conditions were directly observed during the recertification survey and confirmed through interviews.
