Inspection Report Summary for Patten Pond House

The most recent inspection on October 29, 2025, found Patten Pond House in substantial compliance with no deficiencies cited. Earlier inspections showed some recurring deficiencies related mainly to resident service plans, particularly the failure to update plans to address incontinence care needs, which resulted in persistent odors in resident areas. Prior reports also noted issues with medication management, including incomplete documentation and missing practitioner orders. Complaint investigations conducted in 2024 were unsubstantiated, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows some ongoing challenges with care planning and medication documentation, but the latest report indicates improvement in compliance.
