Inspection Report Summary for University Retirement Community
Most inspections found no deficiencies, with the facility generally clean, well-maintained, and compliant with regulations, including up-to-date safety systems and infection control plans. Several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, including allegations about water access, hygiene supplies, and facility safety. However, there were two serious incidents involving lack of supervision that resulted in a resident’s serious injury in June 2024, which led to a $10,000 fine, and a more recent elopement in July 2025 posing immediate risk, cited as a deficiency in the September 26, 2025 report. The most recent inspection on September 26, 2025, did find this deficiency related to supervision but no new enforcement actions were listed. Overall, the facility shows a pattern of improvement in many areas, though supervision remains a concern.
