Inspection Report Summary for Rockdale Healthcare Center

The most recent inspection on June 26, 2025, found no deficiencies and determined that complaints investigated were unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record with several citations related to medication management, care planning, sanitary conditions in the kitchen, and emergency preparedness, including issues such as untimely Medicare Part A notifications, incomplete assessments for medication self-administration, and unsanitary food handling practices. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though one substantiated complaint in late 2024 involved deficiencies that were later corrected. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies promptly, showing improvement in follow-up surveys after the October 2024 findings.
