Inspection Reports for Brickyard Healthcare – Richmond Care Center
1042 OAK DR, IN, 47374
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 28, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no deficiencies cited during the post-survey revisit related to complaint investigations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care issues such as medication management, documentation, and safety during transfers, as well as some concerns with infection control and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations occasionally substantiated deficiencies, including failures in care planning, timely treatment, and staff notification, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were either unsubstantiated or corrected upon follow-up, and the facility has demonstrated improvement over time, with recent inspections showing compliance after addressing prior issues. This suggests the facility has taken steps to resolve earlier deficiencies and maintain regulatory standards.
