Inspection Reports for Good Samaritan Society – Red Oak
201 Alix Avenue, IA, 515661001
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on September 22, 2025 found the facility in substantial compliance with all previously cited deficiencies corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident care, including timely assessments and interventions, care planning, medication administration, infection control, and food safety. A substantiated complaint in August 2025 resulted in a deficiency for failure to provide timely assessments and interventions for a resident with impaired circulation, which posed immediate jeopardy; corrective actions were implemented and verified by the follow-up inspection. Prior complaint investigations included substantiated issues with bruising notification, medication supervision, and abuse allegations, while most other complaints were unsubstantiated. The facility’s record indicates improvement over time, with recent inspections showing correction of prior deficiencies and no new citations at the latest revisit.
