Inspection Report Summary for Scottish Rite Park Health Care Center
The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with no deficiencies. Prior inspections showed some recurring issues with timely and accurate Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessments and adherence to care plans, including inconsistent use of assistive devices like wrist splints and mechanical lifts. Complaint investigations substantiated failures in implementing safety interventions, such as gait belt use, which led to resident falls and injuries, and there were deficiencies related to staff competencies and supervision. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have made improvements over time, correcting earlier deficiencies and maintaining compliance in the most recent survey.
