Inspection Reports for Stonebridge Suites of Milford
1401 H Avenue, Milford, IA, 51351
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 9, 2025, found no deficiencies during the recertification visit for the Assisted Living Program. Earlier inspections generally showed compliance with certification rules, though some prior reports noted isolated issues such as a failure to provide annual food protection training for food service staff and a late report of suspected dependent adult abuse, which resulted in a civil penalty. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with one substantiated case involving a delayed abuse report but no enforcement actions beyond the penalty. No fines, license suspensions, or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections consistently free of deficiencies.
