Inspection Report Summary for Pruitthealth – Lanier

The most recent inspection on June 25, 2025, identified deficiencies that were subsequently corrected by the end of that survey period. Earlier inspections showed recurring issues with call lights not being kept within residents’ reach, improper preparation of pureed foods, inadequate provision of activities of daily living such as nail care, and unsafe water temperatures in resident rooms. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, although some complaints were substantiated without resulting in citations; no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior complaint investigations included a substantiated case involving delayed notification of a resident fall that caused harm, and another substantiated deficiency related to missed dialysis transportation impacting resident care. The facility’s recent correction of cited deficiencies suggests some improvement, though similar types of issues have appeared repeatedly over time.
