Inspection Report Summary for Ashton Creek Health and Rehabilitation Center

The most recent inspection on May 19, 2025, was a complaint investigation and found no deficiencies related to the allegations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care issues such as pain management, wound and ileostomy care, oral hygiene, and monitoring of meal intake, as well as some Life Safety Code concerns including enforcement of the non-smoking policy and maintenance of corridor doors. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with the exception of a few substantiated cases that resulted in citations for pain management, wound care, and oral hygiene. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The trend suggests some improvement over time, with the most recent inspections showing compliance and fewer cited deficiencies compared to earlier reports.
