Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F689 in February 2019 and May 2024. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level J (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

    19212424F689 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Citation F727, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F727 in February 2019 and August 2021. The agency describes it this way: Have a registered nurse on duty 8 hours a day; and select a registered nurse to be the director of nurses on a full time basis. 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.

    Pharmacy Services, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F755 in February 2019 and August 2021. This citation covers pharmacy services and the licensed pharmacist who oversees them.

  5. 05

    How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

Coverage

Record windowFebruary 21, 2019 – October 1, 2026

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