Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection documents from March 20, 2025, showed no deficiencies and confirmed that Cottonwood Villa meets statutory requirements as an assisted-living facility. Earlier inspections were also generally free of deficiencies, with the exception of a complaint investigation in August 2014 that identified issues with food handling practices and medication self-administration safety. The substantiated deficiencies at that time involved staff not following proper handwashing and glove-changing procedures during meal preparation and inadequate evaluation of residents’ ability to self-administer medications safely. No fines, enforcement actions, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record suggests compliance has been maintained since those earlier issues.
