Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility shows a concerning pattern with families filing 8 complaint-triggered reports, leading to deficiencies in resident safety, food service, infection control, and medication management. Recent issues include accident hazards that have persisted across multiple surveys, food safety problems, and resident rights violations. While the facility appears to correct identified problems, the recurring safety issues and frequency of family complaints suggest ongoing care quality challenges that warrant careful consideration.
