Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Treatment Choices and Advance Directives, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F578 in August 2022 and December 2024. This citation covers residents’ right to accept or refuse treatment and to make an advance directive. The most serious of these was recorded at level K (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

  2. 2

    Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F657 in August 2022 and December 2024. 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.

    Continence and Catheter Care, Cited in Two Inspections

  4. 4

    Nutrition and Hydration, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F692 in August 2022 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents get enough food and fluids to stay healthy.

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

    How are a resident’s advance directive and treatment wishes recorded and shared with every shift?

    Treatment Choices and Advance Directives: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level K.

  2. 02

    How often are care plans revised, and who takes part in the review?

    Care Plan Timing and Review: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  3. 03

    How is continence care scheduled, and how do you prevent urinary infections?

    Continence and Catheter Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  4. 04

    How are weight and fluid intake tracked, and what happens when a resident starts losing weight?

    Nutrition and Hydration: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

  5. 05

    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.

  6. 06

    What led to the 2026 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $16,065 civil money penalty was imposed June 12, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage

Record windowAugust 18, 2022 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before August 2022 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.
