Well below state avg (10.1)
Clean record — no deficiencies

Dooley Center shows a concerning pattern of repeated building safety and fire safety violations across all three surveys, with issues in emergency lighting, fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and emergency preparedness recurring multiple times. While all deficiencies report correction dates, the facility's inability to maintain these critical safety systems suggests ongoing compliance challenges that families should carefully consider.
