Inspection Report Summary for Legend at Capital Ridge

The most recent inspection on December 10, 2018, identified deficiencies related to nursing coordination of altered diets and labeling of over-the-counter medications. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with health care coordination, therapeutic diet preparation, and negotiated service agreements, as well as concerns about documentation and medication administration. Complaint investigations in 2015 found deficiencies in service agreements and food safety practices, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, particularly regarding service agreements and food storage. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring themes in resident care coordination and dietary management, with no clear pattern of improvement or worsening over time.
