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 long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

    Help With Daily Living: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

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

    Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level J.

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    What happened after the abuse or neglect citation, and what changed in training or supervision?

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level J.

  5. 05

    What do you do to keep residents moving, and who provides range-of-motion care?

    Mobility and Range of Motion: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  6. 06

    How are weight and fluid intake tracked, and what happens when a resident starts losing weight?

    Nutrition and Hydration: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  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 2026 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $15,935 civil money penalty was imposed March 18, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds four enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 7, 2023 – October 1, 2026

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