2deficiencies
Well below state avg (10.3)

This facility shows recurring fire safety and building maintenance issues across multiple surveys, with deficiencies in smoke detection systems, sprinkler maintenance, and emergency exits appearing in both 2023 and 2024 inspections. The facility also had problems with food service quality and medication management, though these appear to have been addressed. While all deficiencies have correction dates indicating the facility worked to resolve issues, the persistence of safety-related problems across surveys suggests families should inquire about current building safety measures during visits.
