Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Medication Labeling and Storage, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F761 in August 2024 and June 2025. This citation covers how drugs are labeled and kept locked, including controlled drugs. 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.

    232424252525F761 across all 6 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Citation F801, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F801 in October 2023 and June 2025. The agency describes it this way: Employ sufficient staff with the appropriate competencies and skills sets to carry out the functions of the food and nutrition service, including a qualified dietician. None rose above level F (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  3. 3

    Protection From Abuse and Neglect, No Recorded Correction

    F600 was cited in April 2025 and July 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The July 2025 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Past Non-Compliance.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

  4. 4

    Reporting Suspected Abuse, No Recorded Correction

    F609 was cited in June 2024, April 2025 and July 2025. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The July 2025 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 are medications stored and secured, and who checks the medication carts?

    Medication Labeling and Storage: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

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

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

  3. 03

    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 D. The July 31, 2025 citation has no recorded correction date.

  4. 04

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

    Reporting Suspected Abuse: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D. The July 31, 2025 citation has no recorded correction date.

  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 October 30, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowOctober 30, 2023 – October 1, 2026

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

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