Inspection Report Summary for Senior Suites of Urbandale
The most recent inspection on October 28, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit for the Assisted Living Program. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of medication policy deficiencies related to narcotic counts in 2023 and 2021, while prior complaint investigations and renewal visits generally found no regulatory insufficiencies. The main issues cited involved failure to follow medication policies for controlled substances, with no fines or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a 2012 case involving falls and inadequate assessments that identified multiple deficiencies but no enforcement actions. The facility’s record suggests improvement over time, with recent inspections showing no deficiencies after earlier medication-related issues.
