Overview of Olive Branch Assisted Living

Specializing in assisted living for seniors, Olive Branch Assisted Living provides a unique blend of individualized care and attention alongside a strong sense of community. Their mission is to empower residents to live life to the fullest with dignity, independence, and social connection.

Olive Branch Assisted Living’s unique feature is their focus on resident engagement.  They believe social interaction is vital to well-being with assisted living facilities, so they offer a diverse activity program designed to stimulate mental acuity and foster connections. Residents are encouraged to participate in these enriching programs, shaping their own daily routines.  Additionally, resident council meetings provide a forum for residents to share their voices and help shape the community.  As important as individualized care and attention is to “quality of life”, we at Olive Branch recognize that individuals cannot thrive without feeling like they are a part of a vibrant and active community.

Inspection Report Summary for Olive Branch Assisted Living

The January 2021 inspection of Olive Branch Assisted Living revealed full compliance with the facility’s COVID‑19 mitigation plan. The Licensing Program Analyst noted adequate screening procedures, hand hygiene stations, PPE supplies, and signage throughout the building, and no concerns were recorded. This early visit set a baseline of proper infection‑control practices.

A follow‑up unannounced annual inspection on May 18, 2022, uncovered several deficiencies that compromised resident safety. The facility lacked a designated staff member to conduct COVID‑19 screening and had not performed temperature checks for visitors or staff for approximately two months. Staff were observed without masks in common areas, directly violating infection‑control regulations. The audit also confirmed that fire, carbon‑monoxide, and other safety systems were serviceable. A Plan of Correction was issued on the same day, requiring the implementation of a staff screening protocol and mask policy by May 20, 2022. A subsequent unannounced Plan‑of‑Correction visit on May 26, 2022, verified that the facility had installed a temperature‑taking station in the lobby and that the correction was cleared.

During August 2022, an incident visit investigated a missing resident (R1) who was unaccounted for during nighttime medication rounds. The agency requested the resident’s physician’s report and pre‑placement appraisal. The visit did not resolve the missing‑resident issue but scheduled follow‑up once additional documentation was available.

In July 2023, a complaint investigation uncovered a damaged ceiling in a resident’s room caused by water leaks from heavy rains. The facility’s maintenance staff had begun repairs, but the work was incomplete at the time of the visit. The agency cited a maintenance and operation deficiency under Title 22 Division 6 and assigned a deadline of August 1, 2023 for remediation.

Across these inspections, Olive Branch Assisted Living has demonstrated a willingness to correct identified deficiencies, as shown by the timely clearance of the Plan‑of‑Correction. However, recurring themes of inadequate COVID‑19 screening procedures, mask compliance, and maintenance oversight indicate ongoing areas for improvement. Continued monitoring will be essential to ensure that the facility maintains high standards of resident safety and regulatory compliance.
