This facility shows recurring patterns of fire safety violations, emergency exit compliance issues, and infection control problems across multiple surveys from 2023 to 2025. One family filed a complaint about staff failing to treat their loved one with dignity and respect. While all deficiencies have reported correction dates, the persistence of similar fire safety and exit issues suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should discuss with management before considering placement.
