Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Families have filed multiple reports leading to serious deficiencies in abuse and neglect reporting, with the facility repeatedly failing to properly investigate and report incidents to authorities. The most recurring problems involve safety violations (fire systems, emergency preparedness, electrical issues), medical record management, and resident assessment processes. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated issues across these same areas suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
