This facility shows recurring deficiencies across multiple care areas, with families filing complaints that led to confirmed safety violations. The most persistent issues involve accident prevention and safety supervision (cited three times including twice from complaints), medication management errors, and infection control problems. While most violations have correction dates, the pattern of repeated safety concerns and medication errors across surveys suggests ongoing quality challenges that families should carefully evaluate during visits.
