Inspection Report Summary for Northern Lakes Nursing and Rehabilitation Center

The most recent inspection on February 17, 2025, found Northern Lakes Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in compliance with Life Safety Code requirements and no deficiencies were cited. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern with some deficiencies related to Life Safety Code issues such as locked exit doors and hazardous storage areas, as well as resident care concerns including verbal abuse, improper restraint use, medication administration, and documentation. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated case involving failure to notify a physician of a significant change in a resident’s condition, which led to cited deficiencies but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license suspensions were noted in the reports. The trend suggests improvement in compliance with Life Safety Code requirements and resident care issues in the most recent inspections compared to earlier findings.
