Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Citation F640, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F640 in January 2024 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: Encode each resident’s assessment data and transmit these data to the State within 7 days of assessment. 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.

  2. 2

    Care Plans, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F656 in February 2025 and April 2026. This citation covers whether each resident has a written care plan that meets their needs, with goals that can be measured. 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 changed after F640 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F640: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

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

  3. 03

    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.

  4. 04

    What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $17,345 civil money penalty was imposed May 14, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowDecember 20, 2023 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before December 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.
Whether fines were paid
CMS publishes the fines imposed, not whether or when they were paid.

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