Inspection Report Summary for Pruitthealth – Ocilla

The most recent inspection on May 15, 2024, was a complaint investigation that found no deficiencies and determined the complaint to be unsubstantiated. Earlier inspections generally showed compliance with regulations, though some prior surveys identified deficiencies related to life safety code issues such as sprinkler protection and kitchen exhaust installation, as well as infection control practices during medication administration. A notable enforcement event occurred in October 2020 when Immediate Jeopardy was cited due to failure to provide CPR for two residents, but this was resolved within weeks through corrective actions. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, and prior deficiencies were typically corrected upon reinspection. The overall trend shows improvement with recent inspections free of deficiencies following earlier issues.
