Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has had recurring issues across multiple areas that families should consider carefully. The most concerning pattern involves resident assessments and care planning, which has been cited four times across recent surveys, including once after a family complaint was filed. Other recurring problems include fire safety violations, medication management oversights, and resident rights issues like inadequate communication about health status. While all deficiencies have been reportedly corrected, the persistence of assessment and safety issues across multiple years suggests ongoing operational challenges.
