Inspection Report Summary for Pioneer Ridge Retirement Community
The most recent inspection on January 21, 2022 found no deficiencies and confirmed the facility was in compliance with all regulations. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including inconsistent bathing and restorative nursing, medication storage and labeling, infection control, and food storage issues. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions listed in the available reports. Earlier enforcement remedies were imposed in 2014 and 2015 related to pressure ulcer care, but more recent inspections indicate these issues were addressed. The facility appears to have improved over time, correcting prior deficiencies and maintaining compliance in the latest survey.
