Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has a mixed record with 23 deficiencies across three surveys, primarily in fire safety systems, infection control, and food service. The most concerning pattern involves recurring fire safety violations appearing in every survey, including issues with smoke barriers, sprinkler systems, and fire alarms. Food service deficiencies also repeated in two separate surveys. While all issues show correction dates, the persistence of fire safety problems across multiple years suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining proper safety infrastructure.
