Medication management is where the compliance picture gets complicated. The April 25 through 26, 2023, annual inspection found 2 deficiencies, both clinical in nature: Resident 2 received insulin incorrectly across 13 documented instances, administered when blood sugar was below 80 and withheld when it exceeded 80; Resident 1 went without antihypertensive (amlodipine, 15 missed doses), blood thinner (clopidogrel, 13 missed doses), antacid (famotidine, 30 missed doses), and a second antihypertensive (lisinopril, 10 missed doses) because of medication availability failures. Both findings carried documented risk of serious health complications.
Before that, physical plant deficiencies dominated the record. The November 2019 biennial construction survey produced 13 deficiencies, the largest cluster in the period, covering corridor obstructions, unsecured oxygen cylinders, repeated fire door and fire-wall failures, malfunctioning emergency lighting and exhaust ventilation, and an unprotected electrical receptacle beside the medication room sink. The September 2017 biennial survey found 7 deficiencies, including persistent failures on oxygen storage, shower hose vacuum breakers, smoke barrier door latching, and emergency lighting. A March 2016 follow-up found 1 uncorrected deficiency: the dining room corridor doors still not closing against fire and smoke.
The December 2015 biennial survey produced 10 deficiencies across corridor clearance, fire-rated wall integrity, kitchen suppression system lapses, and detector mounting failures.
Across five inspections, the facility averages 6.6 deficiencies per year, 27 percent above the North Carolina average of 5.2. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, enforcement actions, or complaint investigations appear in the available record.
Confirmed amenities include walking grounds, cozy meeting areas, large dining and socializing rooms, three meals and three daily snacks, housekeeping and laundry, transportation, and organized outings. Black Mountain sits roughly 15 miles east of Asheville in eastern Buncombe County; Mission Hospital is the primary nearby acute-care resource.
Families considering placement should ask administrators directly about current medication auditing protocols and the status of fire door and corridor compliance since the 2019 findings.
