This facility has an extensive pattern of deficiencies across multiple surveys, with families filing three complaint reports that led to citations for abuse reporting failures and care planning issues. The most recurring problems involve care planning and assessment, medication management, and fire safety/building maintenance. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the persistent nature of similar issues across recent surveys (including January 2025) suggests ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful evaluation during any visit.
