Context
Patterns Worth Examining
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
- 1
Accident Hazards and Supervision, No Recorded Correction
F689 was cited in August 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious was level G (actual harm). The August 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Past Non-Compliance.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

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.

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 one inspections, most seriously at level G. The August 6, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.
- 02
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.
- 03
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 March 28, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage
Record windowMarch 28, 2024 – October 1, 2026
- CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before March 2024 are not in this release.

- Allegations screened out by the state before an onsite visit are not published.

- 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.
