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 Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F689 in October 2024, December 2024 and April 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level L (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  2. 2

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F600 in May 2024 and May 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. 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.

  3. 3

    Citation F867, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F867 in December 2024 and April 2025. The agency describes it this way: Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action.

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 three inspections, most seriously at level L.

  2. 02

    What happened after the abuse or neglect citation, and what changed in training or supervision?

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  3. 03

    What changed after F867 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F867: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

  4. 04

    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.

  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 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $10,953 civil money penalty was imposed April 22, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds seven enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowDecember 19, 2023 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before December 2023 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.
