Well below state avg (10.1)
3 complaint-triggered

This facility has concerning patterns with families filing complaint reports about abuse/neglect and treatment issues, plus recurring problems across fire safety systems, medication management, and food handling that persist across multiple years. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated violations in core safety areas and the fact that families felt compelled to file formal complaints suggest potential ongoing quality concerns that warrant careful evaluation during any visit.
