Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on July 14, 2025, found no deficiencies at Seacrest Retirement Center. Earlier inspections showed mixed results, with the original licensure inspection in May 2019 identifying several deficiencies related to housekeeping and maintenance, personnel evaluations, resident rights communication, privacy, menu posting, and infection control. Complaint investigations in 2020 and 2025 were unsubstantiated, and no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. The facility addressed prior issues over time, as more recent inspections found no violations. This suggests improvement in compliance with state regulations since the initial licensure inspection.
