Inspection Report Summary for Serenity Place Residential Care

The most recent inspection on November 6, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inconsistent nursing documentation after resident health changes and an incomplete heating system inspection. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with nursing assessments and additional concerns including limited resident activities, medication observation lapses, and missing documentation for fire safety equipment testing. Complaint investigations found a substantiated issue with the lack of a secure outdoor area for memory care residents and gaps in nursing assessments. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history reflects ongoing challenges with documentation and safety procedures, with no clear pattern of improvement or worsening over time.
