Inspection Report Summary for Greater Southside Health and Rehabilitation
The most recent inspection on November 25, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with all previously cited deficiencies corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident abuse and neglect, failure to report and investigate abuse allegations timely, and issues with medication management and infection control. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including cases involving resident rights violations, inadequate care, and safety concerns, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility demonstrated improvement over time, with multiple plans of correction accepted and subsequent re-inspections confirming compliance. While some issues have recurred, recent inspections suggest corrective actions have been effective in addressing prior deficiencies.
