Context

Patterns Worth Examining

A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

  1. 1

    Infection Control, Cited in Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in May 2024, May 2025 and May 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    242526F880 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Dialysis Care, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F698 in May 2024 and May 2026. This citation covers care for residents who need dialysis. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    242526F698 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest
  3. 3

    Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F812 in May 2024 and May 2026. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

For Your Next Visit

Questions to Ask on Your Visit

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

  1. 01

    Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

    Infection Control: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level E.

  2. 02

    How is dialysis care coordinated, and who monitors residents before and after treatment?

    Dialysis Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  3. 03

    May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

    Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  4. 04

    How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

    No staffing citation appears in this window. Staffing levels are published separately by CMS and are worth asking about directly.

  5. 05

    Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

    CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts May 15, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowMay 15, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before May 2024 are not in this release.
  • CMS refreshes these files monthly, after statements of deficiencies are processed, so an inspection from the last two months may not appear yet.

What This Report Cannot Tell You

Complaints not investigated onsite
Allegations screened out by the state before an onsite visit are not published.
Complaint allegations
CMS publishes the deficiencies a complaint survey cited, not the allegation itself.
Facility-reported incidents
Self-reported incidents appear only if they led to an inspection.
Follow-up visits
CMS's files list standard, complaint and infection control surveys, not revisits; a correction date is the one CMS records.
Fire safety inspections
Published by CMS separately and not included in this record yet.
Staffing levels and ownership history
Published by CMS separately and not included in this record.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.
