Inspection Report Summary for Meridian Rehabilitation & Health Care Center
The most recent inspection on December 30, 2019, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no new deficiencies. Prior inspections showed recurring deficiencies related to resident care, including enteral feeding tube management, nursing staffing and leadership, medication labeling, and cleanliness of feeding equipment. Complaint investigations over the years identified issues with resident dignity, pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, fall prevention, medication errors, infection control, and staffing adequacy, with some substantiated complaints leading to enforcement actions such as denial of payment for new admissions. Enforcement remedies were noted in earlier years, particularly related to pressure ulcers and widespread deficiencies at an "F" level, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, correcting previously cited deficiencies and achieving compliance in the most recent surveys.
