Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Families have filed complaints that led to citations for inadequate care planning and safety supervision, raising concerns about resident protection. The facility has recurring issues with infection control (cited three times across different years), fire safety systems, and building safety requirements. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated infection control problems and recent complaint-triggered violations in 2023 suggests families should carefully evaluate current care practices during their visit.
