Inspection Report Summary for Everystep

The most recent inspection on June 24, 2025, found no deficiencies during the complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of standard level deficiencies primarily related to care planning and coordination, including failures to review and update individualized plans of care and to provide services according to updated physician orders. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with the exception of several substantiated findings involving interdisciplinary group care planning and coordination issues. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The trend suggests some improvement over time, with the most recent inspection showing no cited deficiencies after previous citations for care planning and coordination.
