Inspection Report Summary for Shenandoah Senior Living
The most recent inspections on October 29, 2025, were monitoring visits that found no deficiencies and did not substantiate the self-reported allegations related to resident care and protection. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care documentation, staff training, medication management, and safety measures such as hazardous materials storage and secure memory care unit doors. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues with individualized service plans, timely staff responses, and proper documentation, though many complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included violation notices and opportunities to submit plans of correction, but fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean monitoring inspections suggest improvement following a period of mixed compliance findings.
