Inspection Report Summary for Cherry Blossom Health & Rehabilitation

The most recent inspection on March 18, 2025, found no deficiencies after a revisit survey confirmed correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to kitchen sanitation and food storage, as well as life safety code concerns such as emergency lighting, exit signage, self-closing doors, and sprinkler system maintenance. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated complaint in late 2023 that did not result in deficiencies. The facility previously had multiple care-related deficiencies in 2023, including issues with dental care, restorative services, documentation, and staff training, but these were followed by corrective actions. The recent clean inspection suggests improvement in addressing earlier cited deficiencies and compliance concerns.
