Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has persistent fire safety and building code violations spanning multiple years, with families filing reports that led to deficiencies in resident protection from abuse and accident prevention. The most recurring problems involve fire safety systems (alarms, sprinklers, smoke barriers), medication management, and resident safety oversight. While most issues show correction dates, serious concerns about abuse reporting from a recent complaint remain uncorrected, and the pattern of repeated fire safety violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should carefully consider.
