Medicare Inspection History

3-year lookback · Medicare 2026

12deficiencies
Well above state avg (7.3)
1 complaint-triggered

This facility shows a persistent pattern of deficiencies across multiple areas, with families filing at least one complaint that triggered an inspection regarding medication management. The most recurring issues involve food safety and dietary services, appearing in three of four surveys, along with ongoing problems with fire safety systems and medication services. While the facility has corrected most violations, the repeated food safety violations and the fact that families have raised concerns suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration during your visit.
