Inspection Report Summary for Arbor Court

The most recent inspection on August 28, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited during a complaint investigation. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care documentation, safety measures including accident hazards, and quality assurance program effectiveness. Several complaint investigations were substantiated in earlier years, involving issues such as failure to assess residents after falls, medication management errors, and inadequate infection control, with one Immediate Jeopardy finding in late 2022 that was later resolved. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, with multiple re-inspections confirming correction of previously cited deficiencies.
