Inspection Report Summary for Orchard Ridge Residences

The most recent inspection on April 2, 2025, identified deficiencies related to workforce qualifications and training documentation, including certifications in first aid, CPR, physical exams, tuberculosis screenings, criminal background checks, and required trainings. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with staff certifications and training requirements, indicating a recurring theme in workforce qualifications. Complaint investigations conducted over the past years were consistently unsubstantiated, with no rule violations found. Prior reports also noted a failure to maintain an emergency water supply and timely employee training, but enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be addressing these workforce documentation issues, though some deficiencies have persisted over time.
