Inspection Report Summary for Island Assisted Living

The most recent inspection on February 21, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies mainly related to food service sanitation and safety, medication management, personnel qualifications, and environmental standards such as smoke barriers and water temperature safety. Complaint investigations were consistently unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Prior renewal inspections identified multiple issues across resident services, food service, personnel, and environmental standards, but these were not present in the latest inspections. This suggests an overall improvement in compliance over time.
