Inspection History
Medicare Inspection History
3-year lookback · Medicare 2026
This facility has concerning patterns with families filing complaints about resident rights violations and care assistance issues. The most recurring problems involve fire safety and emergency preparedness (blocked exits, faulty sprinkler systems, inadequate emergency lighting), electrical safety hazards, and resident rights issues including visitation restrictions and dignity concerns. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated fire safety violations across multiple surveys and ongoing complaint-triggered deficiencies suggest persistent operational challenges that warrant careful consideration.
