The most recent inspection on June 17, 2025, found Auburn Village to be in compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed a mixed history with several deficiencies related mainly to Life Safety Code compliance, resident care, and infection control, including issues such as failure to maintain sprinkler system inspections, improper resident care practices, and food safety violations. Complaint investigations over time were predominantly unsubstantiated, with a few substantiated cases involving resident self-determination, injury investigations, and infection prevention that prompted corrective actions. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have improved recently, resolving earlier Life Safety Code and care-related deficiencies as reflected in the clean findings of the latest inspection.
