Inspection Reports for Parkview Assisted Living
114 Forest Street, Fairbank, IA, 506297713
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on April 1, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit or the complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a mix of results, with some citations related to nurse delegation documentation and apartment door security, while other visits found no deficiencies. Deficiencies primarily involved nurse delegation procedures and physical security features, with prior issues also including service plan documentation, staff training, and nursing oversight. A substantiated complaint investigation in 2008 identified medication administration and service plan deficiencies, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. The inspection history suggests improvement over time, with the most recent visit showing compliance after earlier mixed findings.
