Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Citation F694, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F694 in May 2023 and August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Provide for the safe, appropriate administration of IV fluids for a resident when needed. 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.

  2. 2

    Citation F867, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F867 in March 2026 and August 2026. 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. 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

    Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in January 2025 and March 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

Coverage

Record windowMay 10, 2023 – October 1, 2026

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

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