   Enforcement Action

   Civil money penalty, $17,114 imposed July 3, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. CMS does not tie a penalty to a survey; listed with the standard health inspection of July 3, 2024, the nearest before the penalty date.

Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F812 in July 2024 and July 2025. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. 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.

2. 2

   Infection Control, No Recorded Correction

   F880 was cited in July 2024 and September 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The September 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Deficient, Provider has no plan of correction.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

1. 01

   May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

   Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   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 D. The September 17, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

3. 03

   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.

4. 04

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

   A $17,114 civil money penalty was imposed July 3, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
