Inspection Report Summary for Chesterton Manor
The most recent inspection on June 25, 2025, found Chesterton Manor in compliance with Life Safety Code and Medicare/Medicaid participation requirements, with no deficiencies noted. Prior inspections showed recurring issues primarily related to Life Safety Code compliance involving kitchen hood fire suppression systems and electrical equipment maintenance, as well as multiple citations for resident care deficiencies such as pressure ulcer treatment, catheter care, medication management, and assistance with activities of daily living. Complaint investigations included some substantiated findings, notably failures in abuse reporting, resident supervision, and staff training, as well as inadequate care for pressure ulcers and catheter maintenance. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean Life Safety Code inspection and ongoing follow-up visits suggest some improvement in addressing earlier cited deficiencies.
