Inspection Report Summary for Summit of Uptown

The most recent inspection on October 16, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inadequate supervision of a resident with dementia who was at high risk for falls, which resulted in a fall causing a subdural hematoma and subsequent death. Prior inspections showed issues with timely incident reporting and updating service plans after resident condition changes, including a failure to report a serious fall injury within 24 hours and to implement fall prevention interventions. The main themes across these inspections involved resident supervision, fall prevention, and communication with families and authorities. There were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with fall risk management and supervision, with recent findings reflecting similar concerns as earlier reports.
