Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Nursing Staff Levels, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F725 in February 2024 and May 2025. This citation covers whether there are enough nurses and aides to meet residents’ needs, with a licensed nurse in charge on each shift. The most serious of these was recorded at level H (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    24242526F725 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Significant Medication Errors, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F760 in May 2025 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents are free from significant medication errors. 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.

Coverage

Record windowFebruary 16, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before February 2024 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.
