Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows recurring fire safety and infection control issues across all three surveys, with sprinkler system maintenance problems appearing twice. The most recent February 2025 inspection found significant deficiencies in fire safety systems, care planning, infection control, and nursing staffing transparency. While the facility has corrected all cited issues with planned dates, the pattern of repeated problems in critical safety areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
