Inspection Reports for Alexandria Care Center
1912 S PARK AVE, ALEXANDRIA, IN, 46001
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 24, 2025, found no deficiencies related to complaint investigations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving Life Safety Code compliance, emergency preparedness, and resident care issues such as medication management and individualized interventions for dementia behaviors. A substantiated complaint in August 2022 involved physical abuse of a resident, which led to staff removal, but no enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and the facility generally addressed cited issues with plans of correction. The inspection history shows some improvement in Life Safety Code compliance and complaint outcomes over time, with recent surveys indicating compliance.
