Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Professional Standards, Cited in Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F658 in October 2023, March 2024 and August 2025. This citation covers whether the home’s services meet professional standards of quality.

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.

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

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

  3. 03

    What changed after F687 was cited, and how do you check it now?

    Provide appropriate foot care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  4. 04

  6. 06

  7. 07

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

  8. 08

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

    A $16,801 civil money penalty was imposed July 18, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowOctober 11, 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.
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.

Data architecture: Cierto supplies the source-backed machine-readable bundle. Life by Vardell independently creates the narrative, design, and consumer report.
