Inspection Report Summary for Legacy Place Cottages

The most recent inspection on October 17, 2024, identified deficiencies related to food labeling, medication management, and adherence to prescriber orders, all of which were addressed with fully implemented plans of correction. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues involving medication management and food storage, along with isolated concerns about support plan updates and documentation. A notable incident in March 2024 involved unauthorized use of a resident’s credit card by a staffing agency employee, who was subsequently blocked from the facility, and corrective measures were put in place. Complaint investigations were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows recurring medication and food-related deficiencies, but these have been consistently addressed with corrective actions over time.
