    Enforcement Action

    Civil money penalty, $17,745 imposed June 28, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. CMS does not tie a penalty to a survey; listed with the standard health inspection of March 1, 2024, the nearest before the penalty date.

Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Telling Families About Changes, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F580 in March 2024 and December 2025. This citation covers whether the resident, their doctor and a family member are told promptly about an injury, a decline or another significant change. None rose above level D (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  2. 2

    Citation F727, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F727 in March 2024 and March 2025. The agency describes it this way: Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on a full time basis. None rose above level F (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  3. 3

    Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F812 in March 2025 and April 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.

    242425252626F812 across all 6 inspections, oldest to newest
  4. 4

    Citation F912, No Recorded Correction

    F912 was cited in March 2024, March 2025 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single resident rooms.

The April 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “No revisit needed.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

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

    How quickly will we hear about a fall, an injury or a change in condition, and from whom?

    Telling Families About Changes: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    What changed after F727 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F727: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

  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

    What changed after F912 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F912: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level B. The April 12, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

  5. 05

    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.

  6. 06

    What led to the 2024 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $17,745 civil money penalty was imposed June 28, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Coverage

Record windowMarch 1, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before March 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.
Whether fines were paid
CMS publishes the fines imposed, not whether or when they were paid.

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