Context
Patterns Worth Examining
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
- 1
Reporting Suspected Abuse, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F609 in September 2025 and August 2026. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. 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.

Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F657 in August 2024 and September 2025. This citation covers whether care plans are written on time and revised by a team that includes the resident’s caregivers. 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.

Citation F851, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F851 in August 2024 and August 2026. 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.

Record windowAugust 1, 2024 – October 1, 2026
- CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before August 2024 are not in this release.

- 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

- 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.
