Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Quality of Care, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F684 in January 2024 and February 2025. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. 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.

    2424252526F684 across all 5 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F689 in January 2024 and June 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    2424252526F689 across all 5 inspections, oldest to newest
  3. 3

    Nutrition and Hydration, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F692 in January 2024 and February 2025. This citation covers whether residents get enough food and fluids to stay healthy. 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.

    2424252526F692 across all 5 inspections, oldest to newest
  4. 4

    Respiratory Care, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F695 in January 2024 and February 2025. This citation covers oxygen, breathing treatments and other respiratory care. 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.

    2424252526F695 across all 5 inspections, oldest to newest
  5. 5

    Citation F628, No Recorded Correction

    F628 was cited in February 2026. The agency describes it this way: Provide the required documentation or notification related to the resident's needs, appeal rights, or bed-hold policies. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The February 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Past Non-Compliance.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

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 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.

  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 two inspections, most seriously at level G.

  3. 03

    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 D.

  4. 04

    Who manages oxygen and breathing treatments on each shift, and how is the equipment checked?

    Respiratory Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  5. 05

    What changed after F628 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F628: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level D. The February 2, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

  6. 06

    How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

Coverage

Record windowJanuary 18, 2024 – October 1, 2026

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