Inspection Report Summary for Paradigm at First Colony

The most recent inspection on December 1, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to allow a resident’s representative to exercise the resident’s rights. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident rights, care planning, supervision, medication administration, infection control, and safety practices. Inspectors frequently cited issues with failure to develop and implement comprehensive care plans, inadequate supervision, delayed or improper treatment, and lapses in infection prevention and privacy protections. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including neglect, failure to report abuse timely, and inadequate notification to family members, though immediate jeopardy findings were removed after corrective actions and no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history reflects ongoing challenges with compliance, with some corrective actions noted but no clear sustained improvement trend.
