Inspection Report Summary for The Harbor House of Ocala

The most recent inspection on May 8, 2025, found no deficiencies during a complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to admissions, medication assistance, staff training, risk management, and reporting requirements. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Deficiencies appeared intermittently over the years, with some involving background screening and physical plant safety, but recent inspections have been free of citations. This suggests an improvement in compliance over time.
