This facility shows concerning patterns with families filing complaint reports about financial management and daily care assistance, and recurring issues across multiple areas. The most frequent problems involve food service and safety (including food preparation, accident prevention, and fire safety systems), with food service deficiencies appearing in three separate surveys from 2023-2025. While all violations have correction dates, the persistence of food service issues and complaint-triggered deficiencies about financial rights and care assistance warrant careful consideration during your visit.
