April 6th, 2022, Inspection at Logan Center
During an inspection at the facility, inspectors discovered that the facility had failed to ensure residents received treatment and care according to nursing standards. A diabetic resident was supposed to have their blood glucose tested by fingerstick two times a day.

September 26th, 2019, Inspection at Logan Center
Based on observations and medical record review, it was determined that the Logan Center had failed to provide and implement an infection prevention and control program. Resident #28 was diagnosed with having Staphylococcus aureus, Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), pneumonia, and Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE). The resident also had multiple bedsores. The facility failed to have personal protective equipment (PPE) available for staff, such as masks and gloves. There were also no signs placed on Resident #28’s door to alert staff or visitors of the infection precautions needed upon entering the room.
