INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. — North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services investigators visited Lake Park Nursing and Rehabilitation Center three days after Channel 9 exposed allegations of patient abuse.
Eyewitness News anchor John Paul poured over the state's findings, which include repeat problems.
Investigators spent four days at Lake Park nursing home and found repeat problems.
Channel 9 uncovered two lawsuits against the facility that are alleging sexual assault and abuse.
State officials said that their visit was in response to a new complaint in March and there is a corrective plan was put into place.
The latest investigation found the facility failed to maintain implemented procedures.
The investigation stated that a patient had not received a shower in two weeks and staff provided him with a washcloth to wash his face, "but that's it."
The facility was also cited for "neglecting to feed and provide incontinence care for dependent residents."
The continued failure of the facility during three federal surveys of record show a pattern of the facility's inability to sustain an effective Quality Assurance Program.
Channel 9 contacted Lake Park Thursday, but did not hear back.
In the report, the facility's administrator seems to place blame on family members.
"One of the biggest barriers to achieving substantial compliance is difficult families," it read.
Lake Park nursing is a special focus facility, one of only about 80 in the country, which means it has a history of persistent poor quality, according to Medicare.
Medicare said the facility has shown 'no improvement for 12 months.
