Inspection Report Summary for Azalea Health and Rehabilitation
The most recent inspection on July 1, 2024, found that all previously cited deficiencies had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a mix of compliance and issues, including life safety code violations related to sprinkler maintenance and emergency preparedness, as well as some deficiencies in resident care documentation and medication management. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated complaint in early 2023 regarding failure to timely notify a physician of a resident’s change in condition. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent surveys indicating correction of prior deficiencies.
