Inspection Report Summary for Prairie Sunset Home
The most recent inspection on April 14, 2025, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no deficiencies were cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to care planning, pain management, staffing documentation, psychotropic medication use, food sanitation, and infection control, with corrective actions implemented after each survey. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, except for a notable substantiated case in 2019 involving inadequate care for residents with pressure ulcers and urinary incontinence. Enforcement actions occurred in earlier years, including denial of payment for new admissions due to deficiencies related to physical restraints and safety hazards, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The trend indicates improvement over time, with recent inspections showing correction of prior issues and compliance maintained at the latest survey.
