Clean record — no deficiencies

Wentz Living Center shows a concerning pattern with accident prevention issues recurring across all three surveys, including one complaint-triggered deficiency where families reported safety concerns. The facility has struggled with maintaining safe environments and supervision, alongside problems with medication labeling and infection control. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the repeated safety violations across two years suggest ongoing challenges with hazard management that families should discuss during visits.
