Inspection Reports for Pruitthealth – Monroe
4796 HIGHWAY 42 NORTH, FORSYTH, GA, 31029
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on March 5, 2025, found two substantiated complaints but no regulatory violations were cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care, including failure to follow care plans for nutrition, oxygen therapy, and wound management, as well as issues with food safety and emergency preparedness. Earlier complaint investigations included substantiated cases involving wound care and nutrition, and an Immediate Jeopardy finding related to resident falls and care planning was cited in 2022, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most deficiencies noted in earlier surveys were corrected upon follow-up visits, and the facility demonstrated improvement in addressing cited issues over time. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated or resolved without ongoing deficiencies, indicating some progress in compliance.
