Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F689 in February 2024 and April 2024. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. 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

    Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in April 2024 and April 2025. 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.

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

    What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

    Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

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

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

  3. 03

    What changed after F911 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F911: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level B.

  4. 04

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

    Citation F912: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level B.

  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 2025 denial of payment, and what would you want a family to know about it?

    Denial of payment was imposed April 10, 2025; it ended May 10, 2025.

Coverage

Record windowFebruary 23, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before February 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.
