Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Medication Error Rate, No Recorded Correction

    F759 was cited in August 2026. This citation covers whether medication errors stayed under 5 percent when inspectors watched medications being given. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The August 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.

  2. 2

    Infection Control, No Recorded Correction

    F880 was cited in August 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. The most serious was level E (no actual harm, potential for more). The August 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.

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 medication passes checked, and what happens when an error is found?

    Medication Error Rate: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level D. The August 3, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

  2. 02

    Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

    Infection Control: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level E. The August 3, 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

    Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

    CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts September 27, 2019; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowSeptember 27, 2019 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before September 2019 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.
