Inspection Report Summary for Hillcrest Shadow Lake
The most recent inspection on January 20, 2026, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to evaluate, monitor, and implement interventions for pressure ulcer prevention and wound healing, resulting in a 90-day probation starting February 17, 2026. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with prior deficiencies mostly involving pressure ulcer monitoring, medication management, fire safety, and care planning issues, while some renewal inspections reported no deficiencies. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated except for a few substantiated issues such as failure to complete neurological checks after falls and delays in abuse reporting. Enforcement actions include the probation order but no fines or license revocations were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges with pressure ulcer care and regulatory compliance, with recent findings indicating that some issues have persisted over time.
