17833 S Harlem Ave, Tinley Park, IL 60477, United States, IL, 60477
Back to Facility ProfileInspection Report Summary
The most recent inspection on October 8, 2025, identified deficiencies related to resident bathing assistance, shower documentation, medication security, and disposal of controlled substances. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, including a December 11, 2024, annual survey with no deficiencies and complaint investigations in late 2024 that cited issues with individualized service plans for falls and aggressive behavior, as well as incomplete investigations of unexplained injuries. Inspectors noted recurring themes involving resident care planning and medication management. A $1,000 fine was imposed during one complaint investigation related to service plan and injury investigation failures, while most complaints were unsubstantiated except for specific regulatory violations. The pattern suggests ongoing challenges in care documentation and medication handling, with some improvement shown in the annual licensure survey but deficiencies persisting in complaint-related inspections.
