Perham Living has ongoing fire safety concerns, with sprinkler system maintenance issues appearing across all three surveys and persisting into 2025. The facility shows repeated deficiencies in fire safety systems, care planning, and resident rights. While all violations have correction dates, the recurring nature of fire safety problems, particularly sprinkler maintenance, suggests systemic challenges that families should discuss during visits.
