Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Edison Christian Health Center has recurring issues across fire safety, building exits, and food handling that have persisted across all three annual surveys, suggesting ongoing operational challenges. The facility has repeatedly failed inspections for fire safety systems, exit door compliance, and food storage procedures, with the same deficiencies appearing year after year despite reported corrections. While all violations have been corrected according to state records, the pattern of repeated citations in critical safety areas may be concerning for families considering this facility.
