Context
Patterns Worth Examining
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
1
Medication Error Rate, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F759 in August 2023 and September 2025. This citation covers whether medication errors stayed under 5 percent when inspectors watched medications being given. 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.

2
Citation F912, No Recorded Correction
F912 was cited in September 2019, August 2023 and September 2025. 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 most serious was level B (potential for minimal harm). The August 2023 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Waiver has been granted.” 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.
01
How are medication passes checked, and what happens when an error is found?
Medication Error Rate: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.
02
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 August 17, 2023 citation has no recorded correction date.
03
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.
04
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 September 6, 2019; anything earlier is not in it.
05

CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before September 2019 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

Staffing levels and ownership history

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