Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Help With Daily Living, Cited in Three Inspections

    Inspectors cited F677 in November 2018, October 2025 and July 2026. This citation covers help with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting for residents who cannot manage alone. 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.

  2. 2

    Reporting Suspected Abuse, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F609 in January 2020 and April 2026. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. 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

    Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F657 in November 2018 and November 2023. 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.

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 long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

    Help With Daily Living: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

  2. 02

    How are staff trained to report suspected abuse or neglect, and who reports it to the state?

    Reporting Suspected Abuse: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

  3. 03

    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.

  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

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

    A $122,570 civil money penalty was imposed July 31, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Coverage

Record windowNovember 20, 2018 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before November 2018 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.
