Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows a recurring pattern of fire safety and building maintenance deficiencies across all three surveys, with issues in smoke barriers, sprinkler systems, and exit signs appearing multiple times. While all deficiencies have been corrected by the facility, the persistence of safety infrastructure problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits to understand current conditions and safety protocols.
