Inspection Report Summary for Azria Health Park Place
The most recent inspection on December 4, 2025 cited multiple deficiencies related to medication management, PASARR assessments, dietary interventions, dialysis assessments, food handling, vaccination documentation, and the facility’s QAPI program. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues including inadequate staffing, incomplete care plans, delayed abuse reporting, and food safety concerns. Several complaint investigations were substantiated over time, particularly involving abuse reporting, medication administration, and resident dignity, while most recent complaints were unsubstantiated. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some correction of deficiencies between inspections, but recurring themes suggest ongoing challenges in care coordination, staff response, and food service practices.
