    Keep all essential equipment working safely, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F908 in November 2022 and February 2025. The agency describes it this way: Keep all essential equipment working safely. 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.

    Residents Taking Their Own Medication, No Recorded Correction

    F554 was cited in November 2022, July 2025 and January 2026. This citation covers whether a resident who keeps and takes their own medication has been assessed as safe to do so. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The July 2025 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Deficient, Provider has no plan of correction.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 9, 2022 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before November 2022 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.
