Inspection Report Summary for Asbury Heights

The most recent inspection on April 29, 2025, found one deficiency related to an incident where a resident punched a staff person and the staff person retaliated, which violated abuse prevention requirements. Earlier inspections showed a mix of issues including failure to report verbal abuse promptly, incomplete medical evaluations, and some care and safety concerns such as improper food storage and privacy issues. Prior reports also noted problems with staff supervision and adherence to care plans, with plans of correction implemented after each inspection. No fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports, and complaint investigations were not noted. The facility has shown some responsiveness by implementing corrective actions, but similar types of deficiencies have appeared across inspections without a clear trend of improvement or worsening.
