Inspection Report Summary for Cedarhurst of Topeka

The most recent inspection on July 14, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed that all previously cited issues had been corrected. Prior inspections showed multiple deficiencies related mainly to documentation accuracy, medication management, and timely response to resident needs, including incomplete service agreements and labeling errors. Earlier complaint investigations substantiated neglect involving delayed call light responses and inadequate supervision, which led to resident harm and hospitalization, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, particularly those involving resident care and medication administration, while some issues involved food safety and infection control. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, as recent inspections show correction of prior deficiencies and compliance with regulations.
