Michigan average: 8 deficiencies

Inspection Report Summary for SKLD Leonard

The most recent inspection on June 18, 2025, identified a deficiency related to inadequate supervision of a high fall risk resident who eloped from the facility. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies involving resident care, including wound care inconsistencies, staffing shortages, medication misappropriation, and safety issues such as falls and improper use of mechanical lifts. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about supervision lapses, missed wound treatments, and medication security, with some staff suspensions and terminations resulting from these findings. Enforcement actions included staff suspensions and terminations but no fines or license revocations were listed in the available reports. The facility has shown some corrective actions and monitoring, but deficiencies related to resident supervision and care have recurred over time without a clear pattern of sustained improvement.
