Inspection Report Summary for The Birches of Lehigh Valley
The most recent inspection on September 11, 2025, identified a deficiency related to failure to provide required supervision for a resident who wandered off the premises. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving resident supervision and equipment maintenance, with some prior findings fully corrected through accepted plans of correction. Previous complaint investigations substantiated concerns about resident abuse, failure to report incidents timely, and staff impairment due to drug use, which led to license revocation in April 2025. Enforcement actions included license revocation and staff terminations related to impairment, with fines or other penalties not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with resident safety and staff oversight, though some recent follow-up inspections indicate corrective actions have been implemented.
