Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Needs and Preferences, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F558 in May 2024 and September 2025. This citation covers whether the home reasonably accommodates each resident’s needs and preferences. 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

    Pre-Admission Screening, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F645 in September 2024 and September 2025. This citation covers the required screening for mental illness or intellectual disability before admission (PASARR). 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.

  3. 3

    Professional Standards, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F658 in August 2023 and February 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.

  4. 4

    Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in February 2024 and September 2024. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

    232424242525F880 across all 6 inspections, oldest to newest
  5. 5

    Citation F912, No Recorded Correction

    F912 was cited in September 2024 and September 2025. The agency describes it this way: Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single resident rooms. The most serious was level B (potential for minimal harm). The September 2025 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “No revisit needed.” 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 you adjust rooms, schedules and routines to a resident’s needs and preferences?

    Needs and Preferences: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    Was the required pre-admission screening done for every resident, and how is it tracked?

    Pre-Admission Screening: 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

    Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

    Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

  5. 05

    What changed after F912 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Citation F912: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level B. The September 5, 2025 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?

    No staffing citation appears in this window. Staffing levels are published separately by CMS and are worth asking about directly.

    CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts August 10, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowAugust 10, 2023 – October 1, 2026

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