Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Lutheran Convalescent Home has recurring issues with fire safety systems, appearing in all three surveys and showing persistent problems with sprinkler systems, smoke barriers, and fire doors. The facility also struggles with food safety and medication management, with deficiencies repeating across multiple inspections. One family filed a complaint regarding notification procedures. All violations have correction dates, but the pattern of repeated fire safety issues across five years suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should inquire about during visits.
