Enterprise Estates Nursing Center has been closely monitored in recent years due to a documented pattern of quality concerns, including being listed as a Special Focus Candidate for at least one month between August 2023 and July 2024. The facility has experienced several health, safety, and performance challenges identified during regular inspections, resulting in corrective actions and, in some cases, fines totaling over $40,000 in the past three years. Issues in care planning, medication management, infection control, and timely reporting of suspected abuse or neglect have been noted and addressed, affecting both the short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services delivered to residents.

Despite these challenges, the facility strives to deliver trauma-informed and culturally competent care, aiming to meet each resident’s preferences and care goals. Care planning involves the input of a multidisciplinary team, and treatment is updated and revised to respond to the changing needs of residents. Staff at Enterprise Estates Nursing Center are tasked with not only addressing the medical needs of residents, such as administering medications and providing respiratory care, but also supporting non-medical requirements including assistance with daily living activities.

The center has put forth efforts to address concerns found in inspections, including updates to protocols around medication storage, infection prevention, vaccination policies, and abuse prevention. Emergency room visit rates and falls resulting in major injury are among the quality metrics tracked, and the facility continues to focus on creating a safe environment while supporting the autonomy and well-being of its residents. As a small community-based facility, Enterprise Estates Nursing Center aims to provide a supportive setting for older adults and others in need of skilled nursing care, with ongoing attention to quality improvement and resident satisfaction.
