Inspection Report Summary for Bishop Hills Assisted Living

The most recent inspection on July 22, 2025, found the facility to be in substantial compliance with no deficiencies noted. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with substantiated complaints in late 2023 related to fall prevention and incomplete service plans for residents, including issues with timely assistance after falls and updating care plans. Inspectors cited deficiencies in supervision, safety checks, and documentation of assistive devices, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were substantiated in two cases involving resident falls and care plan omissions, while other inspections were clean. The pattern suggests improvement since the last complaint investigations, with recent renewal inspections showing compliance.
