Inspection Results
Pinnacle Rehabilitation & Health Center has been cited for a total of 103 deficiencies since we began saving each survey. We believe it is worthwhile to show how things are and were. Some improve and some get worse. Rather than a snapshot, we take s longer view than most. A longer view, we believe, paints a better and more worthwhile picture. We start from them most recent and go back as you scroll down.
Tip: Surveys happen throughout the year and you may want to check with the location or here to see if more recent data is available for Pinnacle Rehabilitation & Health Center.
Since we bagan longer term (multi year tracking, numbers will naturally be higher than 3 (or so surverys).
There are 45 nursing homes in Delaware with a total of 3,287 deficiencies resulting in an average of 73.04 deficiencies per nursing home.
