Recent serious deficiencies raise concerns about this facility's care quality and safety compliance. Families have filed multiple complaints about inadequate care, pain management issues, and emergency response failures. The facility shows persistent problems with emergency preparedness, fire safety systems, and infection control across surveys, though these appear corrected after citations. Multiple complaint-triggered investigations since 2023 involving resident rights violations and care planning failures suggest ongoing operational challenges that warrant careful consideration before placement.
