Inspection Report Summary for Kanawha Place
The most recent inspection on November 4, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies and the complaint was unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to housekeeping and maintenance issues, incomplete or outdated resident assessments and service plans, and occasional medication administration and staffing concerns. Substantiated complaints have involved failures in resident monitoring and timely medical care, as well as environmental safety and housekeeping, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated or corrected promptly upon follow-up visits. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests some improvement after periods of mixed compliance.
