Context

Patterns Worth Examining

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

  1. 1

    Investigating Alleged Violations, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F610 in September 2025 and May 2026. This citation covers how the home responds to and investigates an allegation of abuse, neglect or mistreatment. 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.

    24252526F610 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest
  2. 2

    Accurate Assessments, Cited in Two Inspections

    Inspectors cited F641 in February 2024 and May 2026. This citation covers whether each resident’s assessment correctly records their condition. 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

    When an allegation is made, who investigates it, and how are residents protected in the meantime?

    Investigating Alleged Violations: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  2. 02

    Who completes resident assessments, and how are they checked for accuracy?

    Accurate Assessments: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

  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

    What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

    A $15,480 civil money penalty was imposed September 10, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Coverage

Record windowFebruary 23, 2024 – October 1, 2026

  • CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before February 2024 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.
