Inspection Report Summary for Signature Healthcare of South Louisville

The most recent inspection on January 23, 2025, identified deficiencies related to respiratory care, medication errors, resident records, and infection prevention and control. Earlier inspections were not provided for comparison, so broader inspection patterns cannot be determined from the available reports. The main issues involved failure to follow physician orders for oxygen administration, medication error rates exceeding 5%, incomplete medical records, and lapses in infection control practices including PPE use. No complaint investigations or enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. Without prior inspection data, it is unclear whether these findings represent a new concern or ongoing challenges.
