Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    A Clean, Homelike Setting, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F584 in February 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers whether rooms and shared spaces are kept safe, clean, comfortable and homelike. 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.

    242526F584 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Care Plans, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F656 in February 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers whether each resident has a written care plan that meets their needs, with goals that can be measured. 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

    Dialysis Care, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F698 in February 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers care for residents who need dialysis. 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

    A Clean, Homelike Setting: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  2. 02

  3. 03

    How is dialysis care coordinated, and who monitors residents before and after treatment?

  4. 04

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

Coverage

Record windowFebruary 22, 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.

Historical coverage varies by agency and location. Missing records do not mean that no complaint or violation occurred.
