Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

No citation repeats across the 5 inspections in this window, and no finding is waiting on a verified correction. That is what the record shows; it is not a judgment of care. The questions that follow still apply.

    04

    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

      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.

    2. 02

      What led to the 2023 fine, and has it been paid?

      A $4,475 civil money penalty was imposed October 19, 2023. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

    05

    Coverage

    Record windowSeptember 16, 2021 – October 1, 2026

    • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before September 2021 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.
