Inspection Report Summary for Leeway

The most recent inspection on December 31, 2025, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record with several citations related mainly to documentation issues such as advanced directives, care planning, and timely communication with pharmacy and hospital recommendations. Complaint investigations included a substantiated case in early 2022 involving follow-up on hospital discharge instructions and medication administration, while other complaints were unsubstantiated or lacked detailed findings. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The trend suggests improvement over time, with the most recent inspection showing compliance after prior issues were addressed.
