Inspection Report Summary for Comfort Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

The most recent inspection on June 4, 2025, found no deficiencies, confirming correction of prior issues cited in April 2025. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care communication, medication monitoring, and safety concerns such as fire safety code compliance and tracheostomy care. Complaint investigations from 2025 included one substantiated case involving failure to follow physician’s orders for CPR, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated or resolved without ongoing deficiencies. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be improving, as recent revisit surveys consistently found previously cited deficiencies corrected.
