Inspection Report Summary for Summit House Assisted Living
The most recent inspection on October 16, 2025, found no deficiencies during the essential recertification visit. Earlier inspections were mostly free of issues, with isolated deficiencies noted in 2019 related to individualized service plans not reflecting tenant needs or being properly updated and signed. Prior complaint investigations in 2015 and 2021 found no substantiated deficiencies, and no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports. A 2014 monitoring visit cited a deficiency for an expired food service license, but this issue did not appear in later inspections.
