This facility shows concerning patterns with repeated deficiencies across multiple surveys, including three complaints filed by families regarding wound care, accident prevention, and medication labeling. The most recurring issues involve infection control, food safety, fire safety systems, and electrical equipment problems that have persisted across all three survey periods from 2021 to 2025. While the facility reports correcting each deficiency, the repetitive nature of safety violations suggests ongoing operational challenges that families should carefully consider.
