Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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 Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F812 in August 2019, November 2022 and July 2025. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. None rose above level F (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    192225F812 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Coordinating Mental Health Screening, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F644 in November 2022 and July 2025. This citation covers whether assessments are coordinated with the state’s pre-admission screening for mental illness and intellectual disability (PASARR), and referrals made. 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

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

    Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.

  2. 02

    How do you arrange services for residents with a mental illness or an intellectual disability?

    Coordinating Mental Health Screening: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  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 August 21, 2019; anything earlier is not in it.

05

Coverage

Record windowAugust 21, 2019 – October 1, 2026

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