Inspection Report Summary for St. John‘s United

The most recent inspection on July 17, 2025, identified deficiencies related to grievance policy implementation, care planning, medication administration errors, food safety, and infection control practices. Earlier inspections showed similar issues with care planning, medication management, dietary services, and timely abuse reporting, along with additional concerns about resident assessments, fall prevention, and psychotropic medication use. Complaint investigations substantiated delays in reporting incidents of resident abuse and neglect, as well as medication errors, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The main themes across inspections involved care planning, medication administration, dietary and infection control practices, and timely reporting of incidents. The pattern of findings suggests ongoing challenges with compliance, as deficiencies have persisted over multiple inspections without clear improvement.
