   Enforcement Action

   Civil money penalty, $24,065 imposed January 26, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. CMS does not tie a penalty to a survey; listed with the standard health inspection of January 26, 2024, the nearest before the penalty date.

Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Care Plans, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F656 in January 2024 and November 2024. This citation covers whether each resident has a written care plan that meets their needs, with goals that can be measured. 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.

   Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F689 in January 2024 and December 2025.

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

1. 01

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

3. 03

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

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

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 2024 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $24,065 civil money penalty was imposed January 26, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
