Inspection Report Summary for The Cedars
The most recent inspection on July 22, 2021 found no deficiencies, confirming that all prior issues cited on June 29, 2021 had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to medication management, care planning, supervision, food preparation and sanitation, and securing hazardous chemicals. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as inadequate supervision leading to resident falls and elopements, as well as substantiated abuse allegations resulting in staff termination.
