The facility has faced six complaint investigations, including serious issues with abuse prevention policies and failure to notify families about resident incidents. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in core care areas like infection control and pharmacy services suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully evaluate.
