Inspection Report Summary for Miller’s Merry Manor

The most recent inspection on July 2, 2025, was a complaint investigation and found no deficiencies related to the allegations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of Life Safety Code deficiencies, including blocked exit doors, propped open smoke barrier doors, and issues with hazardous storage room doors, but immediate corrective actions were taken and ongoing monitoring was planned. Prior reports also noted care planning, infection control, and medication management issues, along with some deficiencies in emergency preparedness and staff vaccination compliance, though no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Complaint investigations were generally unsubstantiated, with no substantiated complaints reported. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies, as recent inspections have shown improvement in compliance with Life Safety Code and care standards.
