Inspection Report Summary for St. Paul’s Towers
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with routine and annual visits consistently showing compliance in areas like infection control, safety, and resident care. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about resident care, environmental comfort, and refunds. However, two complaint investigations substantiated serious issues related to financial exploitation by staff and failure to notify residents promptly, as well as a failure to obtain fingerprint clearance for a caregiver, which resulted in a $500 civil penalty assessed in October 2024. The most recent report from July 8, 2025, was clean with no deficiencies cited, indicating improvement since the last enforcement action. Other issues noted were isolated and minor, with no further fines or license actions listed in the available reports.
