Inspection Reports for Hansen House Harlan
703 Dye St, Harlan, IA 51537, United States, IA, 51537
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 5, 2025, found deficiencies related to tenant visitation rights and notification procedures during involuntary transfers. Earlier inspections were mostly free of deficiencies, with prior complaint investigations and recertification visits noting no regulatory insufficiencies. The main issues involved failure to ensure tenants could meet with persons of their choice, lack of notification to the long-term care ombudsman about involuntary transfers, and missing visitor restrictions in service plans. Complaint investigations before this were generally unsubstantiated, except for the most recent substantiated complaints leading to these findings. The inspection history shows a generally compliant record with a recent focus on tenant rights and procedural documentation.
