Inspection Report Summary for United Presbyterian Home

The most recent inspection on August 19, 2025, found the facility to be in substantial compliance based on an accepted plan of correction following the July 14, 2025 survey, which had deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues related primarily to resident care communication, such as failure to notify providers about significant health changes, and environmental safety concerns including accident hazards and food sanitation. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, though some facility-reported incidents related to supervision and food safety were substantiated in late 2023. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility appears to be addressing prior deficiencies through plans of correction, with the most recent findings indicating improvement.
