Inspection Report Summary
Most inspections at Vine Ridge Senior Living Facility found no deficiencies, and several complaint investigations were unsubstantiated. The most recent report from October 31, 2025, cited minor deficiencies related to incomplete staff training documentation but found medications properly stored and other records in compliance. Past issues included staffing shortages affecting resident care, safety concerns in the memory care unit such as resident elopement, and occasional lapses in staff training and administrator notification requirements.

The complaint investigation addressed allegations that facility staff did not keep the facility clean, were not following their mitigation plan, were not keeping accurate medication logs, and were not dispensing medications as prescribed. These allegations were found to be unsubstantiated. However, the allegation that facility staff did not ensure medications were inaccessible to residents was substantiated in a separate complaint #21-AS-202106160-85247 received on 06/16/2021.
Findings
The investigation found that the facility was clean, the mitigation plan was being followed, and medication administration and record keeping complied with regulations. There was no preponderance of evidence to support the allegations, so they were unsubstantiated. However, a related allegation about medication accessibility to residents was substantiated in a prior complaint received on 06/16/2021.
