Inspection Report Summary for Phillips County Retirement Center

The most recent inspection on November 9, 2016, found no deficiencies during follow-up visits verifying correction of prior issues. Earlier inspections in 2016 showed multiple deficiencies related to resident care, medication management, abuse reporting, staffing, and infection control, including findings of immediate jeopardy and enforcement actions such as denial of payment for new Medicare and Medicaid admissions. Complaint investigations substantiated abuse incidents and failures to report timely, inadequate care planning, and supervision issues. Enforcement remedies and staff retraining were implemented, and plans of correction addressed these concerns with improvements in policies, training, and monitoring. The trend indicates that while serious deficiencies occurred in 2016, the facility took corrective actions resulting in compliance by the most recent inspection.
