    Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.

  2. 02

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

  3. 03

    How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

Coverage

Record windowApril 22, 2022 – October 1, 2026

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