Inspection Reports for Heritage Pointe of Huntington
1180 WEST 500 NORTH, IN, 46750
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 19, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the complaint investigated. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with several Life Safety Code surveys citing issues such as egress door accessibility, sprinkler system maintenance, and electrical equipment testing, as well as clinical care deficiencies including medication management, fall prevention, and infection control. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though one substantiated complaint in April 2024 involved failure to report a resident’s change in condition and complete an assessment after a fall resulting in the resident’s death. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent inspections indicate improvement in correcting prior Life Safety Code and care-related deficiencies.
