While many praise the beautiful grounds, swimming pool, and high-quality dining, one serious concern was raised regarding the loss of personal valuables during the pandemic.

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows recurring issues across multiple surveys, with 29 deficiencies found over three inspections. The most persistent problems involve fire safety systems (smoke detection, alarms, sprinkler maintenance), medication management (pharmacy services and drug labeling), and food safety protocols. While all violations have reported correction dates, the pattern of repeated deficiencies in fire safety and pharmacy services across different survey years suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
