Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows a concerning pattern of persistent fire safety and building maintenance problems across all three surveys, with families having filed at least one complaint about accident prevention. The most recurring issues involve fire safety systems (alarms, sprinklers, emergency lighting), electrical and building maintenance, and resident care planning. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated fire safety violations across multiple years suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that families should consider when evaluating this facility's safety standards.
