Inspection Report Summary for Elder Ashram
Most inspections found no deficiencies, including the most recent annual inspection on July 3, 2025, which was perfect. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, showing no evidence of mistreatment or safety issues. However, some deficiencies were cited in earlier reports, primarily involving staff clearance and administrative certification, as well as occasional issues with mask-wearing and eviction notice procedures. These deficiencies were isolated and did not result in fines except for a $250 civil penalty in 2022 related to mask violations. The facility appears to have improved over time, with the latest reports showing no deficiencies and no enforcement actions.
