Inspection Report Summary

The most recent inspection on May 23, 2025, found Newburgh Health Care in compliance with Emergency Preparedness and Life Safety Code requirements except for one deficiency related to electrical equipment testing and maintenance, for which a temporary waiver was approved. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies primarily involving emergency preparedness plans, life safety code compliance, and maintenance of electrical and fire safety systems. Complaint investigations mostly found no deficiencies, though substantiated issues included inadequate supervision leading to a resident elopement and failure to maintain a safe and sanitary environment in hallways. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be making progress in addressing emergency preparedness and life safety concerns, with fewer deficiencies noted in the most recent follow-up inspection.
