Inspection Report Summary for Akron Care Center, INC
The most recent inspection on May 1, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to coordinate a PASARR assessment for one resident. Earlier inspections showed a mix of deficiencies, including issues with quality of care, infection control, medication management, and food safety. Prior reports noted problems such as delayed medication orders, inadequate hand hygiene, incomplete PASARR referrals, and infection prevention concerns, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, with one complaint finding the facility in substantial compliance. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring themes around PASARR coordination and infection control, with some improvement indicated by the acceptance of plans of correction and no recent enforcement actions.
