This facility shows a concerning pattern of recurring safety deficiencies, particularly in fire safety systems, medication management, and medical records management, with issues spanning multiple surveys from 2022 to 2025. Two deficiencies were triggered by family complaints regarding resident care and sanitation concerns. While the facility has corrected all identified issues, the repeated problems in critical safety areas across three years suggest ongoing operational challenges that families should investigate during their visit.
