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, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F689 in January 2024 and September 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 J (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
222425F689 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest - 2
Citation F851, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F851 in January 2024 and September 2025. The agency describes it this way: Electronically submit to CMS complete and accurate direct care staffing information, based on payroll and other verifiable and auditable data. 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.

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.
- 01
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 J.
- 02
What changed after F851 was cited, and how do you check it now?

- 03
How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

Coverage
Record windowFebruary 16, 2022 – October 1, 2026
- CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before February 2022 are not in this release.

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.
