Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Prairie Sunset Home has recurring deficiencies across all three surveys, particularly in fire safety systems, medication management, and care planning. The facility shows a pattern of repeated violations in smoke barriers, electrical systems, and emergency exits that persist from 2021 through 2025, alongside ongoing issues with resident care plans and pharmacy services. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the consistent recurrence of safety and care issues suggests systemic challenges that families should carefully consider.
