Inspection Report Summary for Mainplace Senior Living

Mainplace Senior Living (facility number 306005636) has been the subject of multiple unannounced Department of Social Services inspections and case‑management visits throughout 2022 and 2023. In May and August 2022, the Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) followed up on resident elopement complaints. The August visit detailed a missing‑person incident involving Resident #1 who wandered from Room #306, was found outside the facility later that afternoon, and subsequently returned without injury. The LPA recommended an elopement plan and emphasized adequate staff coverage, especially during periods when the administrator was absent or the Wellness Director was working remotely.

The annual inspection in October 2022 confirmed that the facility’s physical environment—common areas, dining rooms, and storage—met regulatory standards, and no deficiencies were cited. However, the LPA noted that emergency care requirements were missing from three of eight resident files and issued a Technical Advisory regarding COVID‑19 protocols, staff screening, and PPE supplies. Follow‑up case‑management visits in November 2022 reviewed the same resident’s medical orders, confirming that no additional deficiencies warranted citation. In July 2023 a separate complaint visit identified that the required “See Something, Say Something” poster was not displayed in the main entryway, prompting the LPA to advise corrective action.

Across these encounters, a pattern emerges: Mainplace Senior Living generally complies with licensing standards, but recurring administrative lapses—such as staff shortages, missing emergency care documentation, and incomplete mandatory signage—require ongoing attention. The facility’s leadership has responded by documenting corrective steps, updating policies, and maintaining open communication with the Department, thereby mitigating potential risk while preserving resident safety.
