Inspection Report Summary for Lutheran Life Villages

The most recent inspection on June 19, 2025, was a complaint investigation with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some deficiencies noted in resident care and life safety issues, such as restricted egress through magnetically locked exit doors and incomplete electrical equipment documentation in April 2025, as well as medication and monitoring concerns in early 2025 and 2024. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated or found no related deficiencies, though a substantiated complaint in late 2022 involved inadequate grievance investigations and documentation, which the facility addressed with training and audits. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The trend suggests some improvement in compliance with life safety and care requirements in the most recent inspections.
