We recommend scheduling an in-person tour and requesting a meeting with the nursing director to evaluate their current staffing levels and care protocols firsthand.

Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
Recurring safety issues raise concerns, as families have filed multiple complaints leading to deficiencies in accident prevention, medication management, and fire safety systems. The facility has been cited four times across three years for failing to maintain hazard-free environments, with the most recent complaint in October 2024. While all violations show correction dates, the pattern of repeated safety deficiencies in core care areas suggests ongoing operational challenges families should investigate during visits.
