Inspection Report Summary for Briarwood Senior Living
The most recent inspection on February 12, 2025, found two deficiencies related to ice and snow obstructing exterior exits and an incomplete annual medical evaluation, both corrected by the specified dates. Earlier inspections identified recurring issues with exterior ice and snow hazards, documentation gaps in resident medical evaluations and support plans, and safety concerns such as unsecured bed enabler bars and obstructed egress routes. Prior reports also cited resident abuse incidents, indoor temperature violations, and lapses in staff training and emergency preparedness, though enforcement actions like fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were not noted in any of the reports. The facility’s recent inspections show some ongoing challenges with environmental safety and documentation, but corrective actions have been implemented consistently.
