Most inspections of Bentley Manor found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on September 18, 2025, which was clean and showed compliance with sanitation, medication storage, and safety requirements. Earlier complaint investigations from 2023 and 2024 were unsubstantiated, with no evidence supporting allegations related to resident care or facility conditions. The facility had a serious issue with lacking required liability insurance coverage between August and December 2022, which posed an immediate safety risk, but this was resolved by the time of later inspections. Initial licensing inspections in 2022 identified several environmental and safety deficiencies, such as pests, water temperature problems, and unsecured toxins, which were addressed in follow-up visits. Overall, the facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent reports free of deficiencies and substantiated complaints.
