The violation was one of 30 deficiencies cited at the Catonsville nursing home during a complaint inspection completed on August 28, 2025.

The citation, issued August 29, found the facility had failed to keep its medication error rate below five percent.

That was the finding at Fort Dodge Health and Rehabilitation after a complaint inspection on August 27, 2025.

No actual harm was documented during the inspection.

At Astoria Place of Waterville, inspectors found that wasn't happening.
