Inspection Report Summary for Candlestone Assisted Living & Memory Care

The most recent inspection on January 18, 2024, identified deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to provide annual tuberculosis risk assessments for residents and staff, and lack of evidence for a required quality review program. Earlier inspections showed a substantiated complaint investigation in December 2022 for not properly investigating and reporting an injury after a resident altercation. Prior reports did not list enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions. The main themes of deficiencies have involved documentation and compliance with regulatory requirements for health assessments and incident reviews.
