Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History

Families have filed complaints that triggered inspections, including a recent serious abuse protection deficiency that remains uncorrected as of January 2026. This facility shows recurring problems with abuse prevention and response, care planning, and nutrition services. While most past issues were corrected, the pattern of complaint-driven investigations and the current uncorrected protection deficiency raise significant safety concerns that families should carefully consider.
