Inspection Report Summary for Winterberry Heights Senior Living

The most recent inspection on March 5, 2025, found deficiencies related to the facility’s failure to use the Maine Background Check Center for staff background checks, repeating a prior issue. Earlier inspections showed a similar deficiency with background checks noted in the September 10, 2024, biennial survey, while complaint investigations in 2024 and 2023 found no deficiencies. The main theme across citations involved incomplete background checks for staff with direct resident access. No fines, enforcement actions, or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges with background check compliance despite prior correction efforts.
