Inspection Report Summary for Bettendorf Health Care Center

The most recent inspection on December 10, 2025, showed the facility was certified in compliance with no specific deficiencies detailed. Prior inspections, however, revealed a pattern of deficiencies related to resident care, including bathing, incontinence care, staffing levels, medication management, and discharge practices. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as inappropriate discharge procedures, medication errors leading to hospitalization, and failure to provide adequate supervision and timely responses to call lights. Enforcement actions included two periods of Denial of Payment for New Admits, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent certification without deficiencies suggests some improvement following earlier citations, though past inspections indicate ongoing challenges in care and staffing.
