Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Bradford Heights shows a concerning pattern of recurring deficiencies across multiple surveys, with some families filing complaint reports. The facility has persistent issues with food safety and nutrition appearing in all three surveys (2019, 2024, 2025), along with repeated problems in fire safety systems and care planning. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the recurrence of nutrition and safety violations suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should investigate further during visits.
