Inspection Report Summary for The Nicol Home

The most recent inspection on September 6, 2024, found the facility in compliance with all regulations and no new deficiencies. Prior inspections identified recurring issues primarily related to care plan accuracy and timely updates, medication management including psychotropic drug use, infection prevention, fall prevention, and reporting compliance. Complaint investigations substantiated some deficiencies, including a fall resulting in injury due to failure to follow a care plan, and concerns about resident supervision and abuse from earlier years. Enforcement actions included an immediate jeopardy finding in 2020 related to COVID-19 visitation controls and a prior immediate jeopardy in 2014 for substandard quality of care, but no fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have improved over time, with recent inspections showing correction of previously cited deficiencies and no new noncompliance noted.
