Inspection Report Summary for Life Care Center of Gwinnett

The most recent inspection on June 6, 2025, found no deficiencies after a follow-up survey verified correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to incomplete care plans and assessments for the use and safety of side rails and indwelling urinary catheters, which posed potential safety risks. Complaint investigations included one substantiated case in December 2024 without cited deficiencies and several unsubstantiated complaints; no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior surveys from 2023 and earlier noted issues with medication administration, life safety code compliance, and infection control, but these were generally corrected in subsequent follow-ups. The facility’s inspection history shows improvement over time, with recent surveys indicating compliance after addressing earlier cited deficiencies.
