Inspection Report Summary for Kingston Care Center of Fort Wayne
The most recent inspection on June 25, 2025, found Kingston Care Center in compliance with applicable federal and state regulations with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to grievance investigations, pain management, wound care, medical record accuracy, food service sanitation, and emergency preparedness, with some substantiated complaints involving verbal abuse and medication errors, including one immediate jeopardy finding due to a morphine overdose. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or corrected, though some substantiated cases led to citations and corrective actions. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following prior issues, particularly in regulatory compliance and complaint resolution.
