Inspection Report Summary for The Waters of Hobart Skilled Nursing Facility
The most recent inspection on February 20, 2025, found no deficiencies related to the investigated complaints. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care issues such as pressure ulcer treatment, medication administration, infection control, and communication with healthcare providers. Several complaint investigations substantiated deficiencies in these areas, including medication errors, infection control lapses, and incomplete documentation, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports.

The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges in clinical care and infection control, with some improvement indicated by the absence of deficiencies in the most recent inspection.
