Inspection Report Summary for The Bell Minor Home

The most recent inspection on April 9, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies including immediate jeopardy related to resident abuse, neglect, pressure ulcer care, medication management, and infection control, though the immediate jeopardy was removed after corrective actions. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident care, dietary services, infection control, and safety, as well as repeated deficiencies in medication administration and environmental safety. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including abuse and neglect, while others were unsubstantiated; enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports.
