Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Infection Control, Cited in Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in July 2024, June 2025 and July 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.

    Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F657 in July 2024 and June 2025. This citation covers whether care plans are written on time and revised by a team that includes the resident’s caregivers. 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.

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

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

    Infection Control: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    How often are care plans revised, and who takes part in the review?

    Care Plan Timing and Review: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    What happened after the medication error citation, and how are high-risk drugs double-checked?

    Significant Medication Errors: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

  5. 05

    May we try a meal, and how do you check food temperature by the time it reaches residents?

  6. 06

    What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

  7. 07

    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.

  8. 08

    What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $12,664 civil money penalty was imposed September 25, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds four enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowMarch 15, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before March 2024 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.
