Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on April 22, 2025 found Cortland Acres Nursing Home in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed a mixed history, including a significant annual survey on March 12, 2025 that identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, infection control, food safety, and documentation, some of which involved immediate jeopardy findings. Earlier reports noted issues with life safety code compliance, food service, and care planning, while complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. The facility has taken corrective actions over time, as reflected in the April 2025 revisit confirming compliance with previously cited deficiencies. This pattern suggests recent improvement following periods of cited deficiencies in care and safety practices.
