Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

No citation repeats across the 3 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.

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?

   Insufficient nursing staff was cited in November 2023.

2. 02

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts November 30, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Iowa state survey agency.
