Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect, Cited in Four Inspections

    Inspectors cited F600 in September 2024, March 2026, April 2026 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. 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.

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

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

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect: cited in four inspections, most seriously at level E.

  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 E.

  3. 03

    What changed after F801 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F801: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.

  4. 04

    How are staff trained to report suspected abuse or neglect, and who reports it to the state?

    Reporting Suspected Abuse: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  5. 05

    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.

  6. 06

    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 April 4, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowApril 4, 2024 – October 1, 2026

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

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