Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

Merrill Gardens at Campbell’s inspection record is mixed, with mostly minor issues but one immediate health risk cited in October 2025 for improper storage of a toxic cleaner in a resident’s room. The October 28, 2024 annual inspection flagged two deficiencies: incomplete CPR/first aid training for some staff and outdated physician reports for residents with neurocognitive disorders, both posing health and safety risks. Complaint investigations in 2024 and 2026 found no substantiated allegations of abuse or neglect, and recent follow-ups confirmed correction of prior deficiencies.
