Inspection Report Summary for Cadia Rehabilitation Pike Creek

The most recent inspection on June 17, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies identified. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident care, including medication administration, post-fall assessments, abuse investigations, and quality of care, as well as issues with visitation rights, safe environment, and food service. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly concerning care planning, timely notifications, and infection control, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, with notable concerns about delayed fall reporting and inadequate abuse investigations. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following a period of multiple citations over the past two years.
