Context
Patterns Worth Examining
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
- 1
Quality of Care, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F684 in July 2024 and April 2025. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. 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.

Administration, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F835 in May 2024 and July 2024. This citation covers whether the home is run in a way that uses its resources effectively. The most serious of these was recorded at level J (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

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 do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?
Quality of Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.
- 02
How long have the administrator and the director of nursing been in their roles?
Administration: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level J.
- 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
What led to the 2024 fine, and has it been paid?
A $6,500 civil money penalty was imposed July 11, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds three enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage
Record windowFebruary 22, 2024 – October 1, 2026
- CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before February 2024 are not in this release.

- 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.
