Inspection Report Summary for Wedgwood Gardens Care Center
The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some reports noting deficiencies in areas such as resident rights, privacy, staffing ratios, infection control, and life safety code compliance. A notable event occurred in November 2022 when the facility was cited for failure to activate the Emergency Response System for a resident, resulting in immediate jeopardy that was later removed after corrective actions. Most complaint investigations were unsubstantiated, except for the substantiated emergency response issue in 2022. The inspection history shows some improvement in recent years, with the latest survey free of deficiencies after previous challenges.
