Inspection Report Summary for Excel Care At The Pines
The most recent inspection on November 19, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies and focused on informing individuals about privacy practices. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies related to resident care, infection control, staffing, food safety, and life safety code compliance, including issues with fire safety systems and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations found a substantiated staffing deficiency in 2021, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted repeated challenges with maintaining safe environments, adequate staffing levels, and proper infection prevention programs. The absence of deficiencies in the latest inspection suggests improvement in compliance over time.
