An unannounced visit was made to the facility
on December 6, 2016 at 3:15 PM to investigate
a complaint regarding quality of care.

reflected Resident A was admitted to the facility
on April 19, 2016 with diagnoses which
included hypertension (high blood pressure),
diabetes (high blood sugar), and hemiplegia
(unable to move one side of the body).
A review of the history and physical, completed
by the physician on April 22, 2016, indicated
