7deficiencies
Near state avg (10.1)

Montgomery Place has recurring issues with fire safety systems, medication management, and food service across all three surveys, with some problems persisting despite corrections. The most recent 2025 survey found deficiencies in sprinkler system maintenance, emergency lighting, medication reviews, and dietary staffing that echo similar problems from 2021 and 2023. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the pattern of repeated violations in critical safety areas warrants careful consideration during your visit.
