Inspection Report Summary for Life Care Center of Burlington
The most recent inspection on January 23, 2025 found no deficiencies, confirming the facility was in compliance with all regulations surveyed. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident abuse prevention and reporting, assistance with activities of daily living, dietary staff qualifications, infection prevention and control, and safe resident transfers. Several complaint investigations substantiated issues such as failure to prevent and investigate resident-to-resident abuse, delayed reporting of incidents, inadequate supervision leading to falls, and lapses in infection control practices. Enforcement actions including immediate jeopardy findings related to urinary care in 2021 and denial of payment for new admissions in 2018 were noted, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies through corrective actions and staff education, with recent inspections showing improvement and no new citations.
