Inspection Report Summary for Mirabella at ASU

The most recent inspection on September 26, 2024, cited two deficiencies related to caregiver documentation of services and service plan compliance during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mix of deficiencies primarily involving documentation issues, fingerprint clearance compliance, employee training, and infection control measures such as tuberculosis evidence and evacuation drill records. Enforcement actions occurred in 2023, including fines totaling $3,000 for fingerprint clearance and training violations, all of which have been paid in full. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated or found no deficiencies, with no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy noted in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows recurring documentation and compliance issues, but recent findings are consistent with prior patterns rather than indicating a clear trend of improvement or decline.
