Inspection Report Summary for Odebolt Specialty Care
The most recent inspection on December 10, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with prior annual and complaint investigations identifying deficiencies related mainly to medication management, resident supervision, infection control, and care planning. Notable issues included a fall down basement stairs due to inadequate supervision, incomplete medication and care assessments, and lapses in infection prevention practices, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, though some substantiated complaints involved resident safety and care concerns. The facility’s recent inspections suggest improvement, with the latest surveys showing compliance following earlier citations.
