The most recent inspection on June 6, 2025, found Salem Crossing to be in compliance with all applicable regulations and cited no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of some deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including timely incontinence care, RN staffing coverage, medication labeling, and occasional issues with resident supervision during outings. Complaint investigations mostly found no deficiencies, though a few substantiated complaints resulted in citations for verbal abuse by staff and inadequate supervision during a resident outing. Life safety inspections identified recurring issues with door latching, smoke barriers, and fire safety equipment, but these were addressed through corrective actions and plans of correction. The overall trend shows improvement in compliance, with the most recent inspections free of deficiencies and enforcement actions not listed in the available reports.
