Inspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on June 12, 2025, found Monticello Healthcare in compliance with applicable regulations following a paper review and complaint investigation. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care documentation, medication storage, food preparation, and life safety code issues such as smoke barrier doors and emergency preparedness. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for one related to medication storage practices that resulted in a citation. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. The facility appears to have addressed some prior issues, but life safety and care-related deficiencies have recurred intermittently over time.
