Inspection Reports for Rosewood

Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility generally clean, well-maintained, and compliant with safety standards. However, some earlier reports cited deficiencies related to medication administration errors, documentation issues, and unsafe storage of items accessible to residents. A serious issue occurred in October 2021 when staff financially abused a resident and the facility failed to provide proper notice for fee increases. The most recent report from May 29, 2025, was a complaint investigation that found the complaint unfounded and no deficiencies. Several complaint investigations over time were unsubstantiated, and the facility appears to have improved since the more serious findings in 2021.
