Inspection Report Summary for Tanglewood Nursing and Rehabilitation
The most recent inspection on April 18, 2017, found no deficiencies, confirming that previously cited issues had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, medication management, infection control, food sanitation, and safety hazards such as fall prevention and environmental maintenance. Several complaint investigations substantiated failures in these areas, including a notable case involving a resident who developed a severe pressure ulcer resulting in hospitalization with sepsis and gangrene. Enforcement actions were imposed at various times, including denial of payment for new admissions due to noncompliance with pressure ulcer care and Life Safety Code deficiencies, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The trend indicates improvement over time, with recent revisits confirming correction of prior deficiencies and no new citations noted in the latest inspections.
