Inspection Report Summary for The Cottages of Middleton

The most recent inspection on May 29, 2024, identified deficiencies related to fire safety, including unclear marking of designated smoking areas, outdated relocation agreements, missed bi-monthly fire drills, and incomplete documentation for smoke detector and sprinkler system testing. Earlier inspections showed similar fire safety issues, such as missing fire alarm inspections, overdue extinguisher servicing, prohibited extension cord use, and lack of staff emergency training documentation. Prior complaint investigations found deficiencies in nursing documentation, medication administration, and pandemic mask-wearing protocols, but no enforcement actions or fines were listed in the available reports.

The pattern suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining complete fire safety procedures, with no clear improvement trend evident.
