Inspection Report Summary for Altamaha Healthcare Center
The most recent inspection on November 25, 2024 found no deficiencies, confirming correction of prior issues cited in July 2024. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to infection control practices, especially improper cleaning and storage of glucometers, as well as documentation and medication administration concerns. Complaint investigations mostly resulted in unsubstantiated findings, with one substantiated complaint that did not lead to deficiencies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be improving, as recent revisit surveys have verified correction of previously cited deficiencies.
