Inspection Reports for Pruitthealth – Griffin
619 NORTHSIDE DRIVE, GRIFFIN, GA, 30223
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 22, 2024, identified deficiencies related to misappropriation of resident funds and failure to properly account for money taken from the Resident Trust Account. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving medication management, infection control, environmental sanitation, and vaccination documentation, as well as fire safety issues noted in a 2024 Life Safety survey. Complaint investigations included substantiated findings of financial mismanagement, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated or had no deficiencies cited. Enforcement actions included termination of the responsible financial counselor and notification of law enforcement, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly in financial oversight and clinical care areas, with some corrective actions taken but new issues continuing to arise.
