Inspection Report Summary for Oaknoll Assisted Living

The most recent inspection on March 25, 2025, identified deficiencies related to medication administration errors and failure to follow policies during the medication pass. Earlier inspections were mostly free of deficiencies, with clean recertification visits reported in 2022, 2018, 2016, and 2014, though some issues with medication documentation, staff training, and dementia-specific education appeared in 2008. Prior deficiencies mainly involved medication management, staff training, and program-specific requirements for dementia care. No fines, enforcement actions, or substantiated complaints were listed in the available reports. The inspection history shows improvement over time, with the most recent citation reflecting a focused area for staff re-education rather than widespread issues.
