Inspection Report Summary for Ciela

Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on October 20, 2025, which was clean with no issues cited. One complaint investigation in April 2025 substantiated a medication administration error where a resident received only half the prescribed dose due to an electronic record system change; the facility self-reported and took corrective action. Other complaint investigations, including those in June and December 2024, found no evidence to support allegations related to medication management, infection control, or staff training. No fines, enforcement actions, or license issues were noted in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with the latest inspection confirming compliance after the isolated medication error.
