Fowler Residential Care has a concerning pattern with one complaint filed by families regarding accident hazards, which also recurred in a separate survey. The facility shows recurring issues with fire safety systems, medication management, and accident prevention across multiple surveys from 2021-2025. While all deficiencies have correction dates, the repeated problems with safety hazards and fire drills suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining consistent safety standards that families should investigate during visits.
