Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Lamar Estates has recurring deficiencies across multiple surveys, particularly in dementia care, medication management, and respiratory care, with these same issues appearing in both 2021 and 2022 inspections. The facility also had problems with nursing staffing, care planning, and resident protection from abuse and neglect. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in key care areas suggests families should carefully evaluate the facility's consistency in maintaining standards.
