Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Colonial Haven has recurring issues across multiple care areas, with infection control problems appearing in both 2023 and 2024 surveys, and repeated fire safety violations including inadequate fire drills found in consecutive inspections. The facility also had deficiencies in protecting residents from abuse and neglect, resident safety, and building safety systems. While all issues show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in key safety areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss during visits.
