Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on February 19, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to report a client’s fall and not following incident reporting policies, resulting in a substantiated complaint and termination of an aide. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some reports noting no violations, such as the June 14, 2024 renewal inspections, while others identified deficiencies including prior substantiated violations and issues with compliance. The main themes of deficiencies involved incident reporting and adherence to agency policies, with no fines or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations included substantiated findings related to incident reporting failures, while most other complaints were either unsubstantiated or not clearly stated. The inspection history shows some recurring issues with reporting and policy adherence, though recent corrective actions have been taken to address these concerns.
