Inspection Report Summary for Highlands Nursing and Rehabilitation

The most recent inspection on February 28, 2025, found deficiencies related to the facility’s environment, staffing, care planning, dental services, infection control, and resident safety. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so broader patterns cannot be determined from the available information. Inspectors cited issues including maintenance problems, employment of staff with disqualifying backgrounds, inadequate notice before resident transfers, incomplete care plans, lack of dental care, and insufficient infection prevention measures. There were no complaint investigations or enforcement actions listed in the available reports.
