DeWitt Nursing Home shows concerning patterns with 40 deficiencies across three surveys, including one complaint-triggered investigation regarding abuse response procedures. The facility has recurring issues with resident safety, medication management, and food service that persist across multiple years. Fire safety problems also appear repeatedly. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the consistent reoccurrence of safety and care issues across surveys suggests ongoing operational challenges families should carefully consider.
