The most recurring issues involved fire safety systems, resident rights violations (including failure to notify families of incidents), and problems with resident assessments and care quality. While the facility has provided correction dates for most deficiencies, the pattern of complaint-driven findings suggests ongoing care challenges that warrant careful consideration during visits.
