Inspection Report Summary for Riverview Health & Rehab Center

The most recent inspection on April 2, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident abuse protections, medication management, behavioral health services, and staffing, including an Immediate Jeopardy finding in February 2025. Prior reports also noted fire safety system issues and care plan implementation problems, with some substantiated complaints mostly involving abuse and neglect concerns. Complaint investigations in recent years were largely unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made significant improvements following the February 2025 survey, as all cited deficiencies were corrected by the most recent revisit.
