Inspection Report Summary for BeeHive Homes of Portales

The most recent inspection on July 29, 2020, found no deficiencies during an offsite surveillance related to Covid-19 infection prevention and control. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some deficiencies noted primarily in safety measures, documentation, and admission/retention practices, including unsecured cleaning supplies, lack of emergency lighting, and missing team meetings for residents requiring nursing services. A substantiated complaint in December 2018 identified past non-compliance involving admission agreements and safety hazards, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were either unsubstantiated or related to documentation and procedural issues rather than immediate risks. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement, with no deficiencies cited in the last several surveys.
