Inspection Report Summary for The Heritage at Fox Run

The most recent inspection on April 30, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit. Earlier inspections showed a generally positive compliance history with occasional deficiencies related primarily to tenant evaluations, service plan updates, and nursing reviews, particularly noted in a complaint investigation from March 29, 2023. Prior complaint investigations also identified issues with medication administration and documentation, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for some substantiated findings related to care planning and medication management in earlier years. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following prior citations in tenant care documentation and service planning.
