Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Fairmont has a concerning pattern of safety and care deficiencies across 93 violations, with 13 triggered by family complaints. Recurring problems include food safety/nutrition issues, care planning failures, and abuse prevention lapses, with recent August 2025 complaints involving resident abuse and neglect protections. While all violations show correction dates, the facility's extensive safety system failures (fire, electrical, emergency preparedness) and repeated care quality issues across multiple surveys suggest systemic challenges that families should carefully evaluate.
