Inspection Report Summary for Wilber Care Center
The most recent inspection on March 29, 2024, found Wilber Care Center met statutory requirements for licensure renewal with no deficiencies noted. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of various deficiencies, including issues with fall prevention, infection control, care planning, and life safety code compliance, particularly related to fire safety and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations over the years substantiated some failures to implement interventions after accidents and protect residents from misappropriation, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included a 90-day probation starting in October 2018 due to fall prevention violations, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections confirming compliance and no new deficiencies reported.
