Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Infection Control, Cited in Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F880 in June 2023, January 2026 and June 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

  2. 2

    Continence and Catheter Care, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F690 in January 2026 and June 2026. This citation covers continence care, catheter care and preventing urinary tract infections. 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

    Significant Medication Errors, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F760 in March 2024 and January 2026. This citation covers whether residents are free from significant medication errors. 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

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

    Infection Control: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.

  2. 02

    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.

  3. 03

    What happened after the medication error citation, and how are high-risk drugs double-checked?

    Significant Medication Errors: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  4. 04

    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.

  5. 05

    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 June 1, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.

Coverage

Record windowJune 1, 2023 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before June 2023 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.
