Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Diversicare of Larned has 36 deficiencies across recent inspections, with recurring issues in fire safety systems, resident rights, and care planning. Most concerning are multiple fire safety violations (sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, smoke barriers) that appear uncorrected in the most recent 2026 survey. While many earlier deficiencies were corrected, the persistence of safety issues alongside problems with resident grievance processes and care coordination suggests ongoing operational challenges families should carefully consider.
