Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows a concerning pattern of recurring deficiencies in food safety and fire safety systems across multiple surveys, with some issues persisting from 2022 through 2025. The most problematic areas include nutrition and dietary services (food temperature, storage, and menu planning), fire safety systems (sprinkler and alarm maintenance), and medication management. Three families have filed complaints that triggered investigations, resulting in deficiencies related to abuse reporting, staff training, and family notification requirements. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of core safety issues warrants careful consideration.
