Tabor Commons
Tabor Commons is an 80-bed assisted living and respite care facility at 703 Elizabeth Street, Tabor City, Columbus County, North Carolina. It provides 24-hour staffing, accepts Medicaid, and focuses on providing a home-like environment.
Physical plant and fire safety deficiencies characterize Tabor Commons’ regulatory record, with recurring infrastructure maintenance failures across inspection cycles. Over seven years, the facility averaged 7.6 deficiencies annually, 46 percent above North Carolina’s 5.2-deficiency benchmark. February 2024 construction survey identified 11 critical deficiencies reflecting systemic facility maintenance and safety protocol gaps. The facility lacked current sanitation and fire and building safety inspection reports maintained in the home.
Remodeling including new fire alarm control panel installation occurred without submitting plans to DHSR/Construction. Exit doors lacked required sounding devices; exterior door alarm did not sound when opened. Walls and ceilings showed bubbled peeling paint and cracked separating finishes; furnishings showed damage including cracked glass in back door. Unsecured oxygen bottles were present in resident rooms.
Fire doors failed to close and latch properly; fire extinguishers and hood suppression system inspections were overdue. Fire-resistant-rated ceilings had unsealed cable and conduit penetrations and holes allowing potential fire and smoke spread. Electrical equipment showed missing outlet covers, non-functioning outlets, and exterior outlets without protective covers. Exit signs failed to illuminate on emergency backup test.
Emergency fire alarm system heat detectors were not secure to bases. Multiple exhaust fans were non-operational in guest toilets, women’s toilet, room bath, and housekeeping areas.
Medication administration and medication aide competency failures appear across clinical inspections. October 2016 annual survey documented one resident receiving 24 missed doses of Lantus insulin out of 57 opportunities despite physician orders, and failure to ensure infection prevention during medication administration. February 2017 follow-up found unclear sliding scale insulin orders for one resident without documented Primary Care Provider contact, and failure to administer ordered diabetes medication, vitamin D supplement, and blood pressure medication for two residents. January 2015 annual survey documented medication administration error for one resident (7% error rate with inhaler administration) and one medication aide staff member performing medication aide duties without meeting state training and competency requirements.
Food service and facility cleanliness deficiencies span multiple cycles. February 2023 annual survey found residents not provided non-disposable place settings (forks, knives, spoons, cups) at meal service. February 2020 annual survey identified unlabeled and undated opened food packages, a cracked container lid, and improper meat thawing without cold running water. October 2016 identified two of four common showers containing black substance resembling mold, and tuberculosis testing compliance gaps for one of three staff upon hire and one of five residents upon admission.
Fire safety infrastructure failures recur across 2015 and 2018 construction surveys. November 2015 construction survey cited 16 deficiencies. February 2018 construction survey documented 15 deficiencies. No fines or license suspensions appear in the record.
No complaint investigations documented.
Families should verify fire alarm system functionality, sanitation reports, oxygen cylinder storage, medication aide training, medication administration, and food service protocols.
