Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows a concerning pattern of repeated deficiencies across all three surveys, particularly in fire safety systems, electrical equipment, and food service operations. Issues with sprinkler systems, fire alarms, electrical wiring, and food handling have persisted from 2021 through 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and safety challenges. While the provider reports correcting each violation, the recurring nature of similar problems across multiple years indicates potential systemic issues that families should discuss during visits.
