Clean record — no deficiencies

Goodwater Healthcare Center shows a relatively clean record with only 6 deficiencies from a single 2018 survey, all of which have been corrected. The issues involved bed rail safety procedures, medication labeling, resident assessment practices, fire alarm systems, quality assurance processes, and resident access to survey information. Since all deficiencies were addressed and no new issues have emerged in recent years, this suggests improved compliance and care quality.
