Inspection Reports for Perkins Country Manor
5269 ASBURY ROAD, AUGUSTA, KY, 41002
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on February 20, 2025, found deficiencies related to failure to provide proper notice before transfer or discharge to residents and their representatives. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with transfer and discharge notices, bed hold policy communication, and medication storage, resulting in the facility not being in substantial compliance. A complaint investigation substantiated these findings, confirming that residents and representatives were not properly informed in writing about transfers, appeal rights, and bed hold policies. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern of deficiencies suggests ongoing challenges with communication and medication management that have persisted across recent inspections.
