Inspection Reports for Miona Geriatric & Dementia Center
201 POPLAR STREET, IDEAL, GA, 31041
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 22, 2025, found no deficiencies after a revisit survey confirmed correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies mainly related to dietary practices, such as failure to properly wash and sanitize dishware used for puree food items, and food labeling and storage problems identified in 2022. Prior reports also noted fire safety code issues involving smoke-tight ceilings, cooking equipment placement, and smoking area provisions, but these were not cited in the most recent inspections. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated case in 2018 involving a resident fall that resulted in injury due to inadequate supervision and care plan adherence. The facility’s inspection history suggests improvement in dietary and safety compliance over time, with recent surveys showing correction of previously cited deficiencies.
