Inspection Report Summary for The Village of Ackley

The most recent inspection on December 8, 2025, found the facility in substantial compliance with no specific deficiencies detailed. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with some substantiated complaints related to abuse and neglect in late 2025, and multiple deficiencies in resident care, notification practices, and staffing issues identified in prior years. Complaint investigations included substantiated cases involving failure to notify families and physicians of significant resident condition changes, inadequate supervision, and issues with abuse reporting, while many other complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports, though an Immediate Jeopardy was identified and later removed in 2023 related to inadequate supervision and accident hazards. The facility’s record shows some improvement over time, with recent inspections indicating substantial compliance following earlier citations.
