Teal Creek Assisted Living & Memory Care

What state inspectors found

4 inspections in the last two years · 3 with no deficiencies cited · 1 with findings

Teal Creek has been inspected four times in the last two years, and three of those inspections ended with no deficiencies cited at all — including a February 2026 investigation of complaints that alleged abuse, short staffing, and unanswered call lights. Across those visits, surveyors personally watched staff giving medications per doctors' orders, helping residents at meals, and answering call lights, and described residents as clean and well groomed. The exception is the November 2025 relicensure survey, which found real problems. The state cited the kitchen at a 'widespread' severity level for dirty food-prep and dry-storage floors, unlabeled and undated food and one expired container of chicken salad in the refrigerators, and use of unpasteurized shell eggs served fried, boiled or scrambled. It also cited three admission assessments completed a few days late, and — most relevant to daily care — found that the four residents on pureed diets were served the same breakfast (oatmeal, juice and milk) every day with no choices, that lunch items on the posted menu such as garlic bread and dessert were not provided to them, and that food was thinned with tap water rather than milk or gravy, so nutritional content was not maintained. The director of nurses told the surveyor the center had no written policies for kitchen cleaning, food labeling, unpasteurized eggs, or pureed foods. The facility submitted a correction plan the state accepted, and a complaint investigation about two and a half months later found nothing — but the bundle contains no revisit letter verifying those specific corrections, so families should ask to see the kitchen and ask specifically how pureed and special diets are planned and served today.
