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 Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F684 in October 2019, September 2024 and October 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.

    19242526F684 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Dignity and Resident Rights, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F550 in October 2019 and September 2024. This citation covers residents’ right to dignity, to make their own choices and to communicate. 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.

    19242526F550 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest
  3. 3

    Professional Standards, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F658 in October 2019 and September 2024. This citation covers whether the home’s services meet professional standards of quality. 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.

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 three inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    How do staff learn each resident’s preferences, and how is a complaint about dignity handled?

    Dignity and Resident Rights: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  3. 03

    How do you check that nurses and aides follow professional standards, and what happens when they do not?

    Professional Standards: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  4. 04

    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.

  5. 05

    What led to the 2024 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $49,725 civil money penalty was imposed September 6, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Coverage

Record windowOctober 11, 2019 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before October 2019 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.
