Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Southern Inyo Hospital has persistent issues with fire safety systems and emergency preparedness that recur across multiple surveys, suggesting ongoing challenges with safety infrastructure. Families have filed complaints that led to findings of abuse/neglect and accident prevention failures. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated nature of fire safety violations (sprinkler systems, smoke detection, emergency power) across 2019-2024 surveys indicates difficulty maintaining consistent safety standards.
