67 deficiencies

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.

Inspection Report Summary for Cheshire House

The most recent inspection on October 20, 2025, found deficiencies related to a failure to report an allegation of abuse within the required two-hour timeframe, which was substantiated during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care issues such as failure to notify families of significant changes, inadequate care planning, medication administration problems, and infection control practices. Complaint investigations frequently substantiated violations related to abuse reporting, misappropriation of property, and failure to properly assess or supervise residents. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some correction of prior violations, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges in timely reporting and resident safety oversight.
