The facility has recurring issues with care planning, fire safety systems, and infection control across multiple surveys. While all 49 deficiencies show correction dates, the repetition of problems like fire extinguisher maintenance and care plan development suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss directly with administrators before making placement decisions.
