Inspection Report Summary for Paramount Community Living and Rehab Inc

The most recent inspection on October 26, 2018, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies. Prior inspections in 2018 had cited deficiencies related to resident care plans, medication administration, activity programming, and food service, but these issues were corrected by the October revisit. Earlier complaint investigations included a substantiated case in 2015 involving improper use of transfer bars that resulted in a resident’s death, along with other care and safety concerns such as notification failures and abuse investigations in 2012. Enforcement actions included denial of payment for new admissions in 2017 due to actual harm-level deficiencies, but no license suspensions or fines were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows improvement over time, with the facility addressing prior deficiencies and achieving compliance in its most recent survey.
