This facility shows concerning patterns of complaint-triggered deficiencies, with families filing 19 reports that led to violations including severe abuse protection failures and recurring accident prevention issues. The most persistent problems involve accident prevention and safety supervision (cited 5 times across multiple years), care planning and resident assessments, and medication management including labeling errors. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated safety violations and the recent severe abuse-related citation in 2025 raise significant concerns about sustained quality improvements.
