Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F812 in November 2024, December 2025 and March 2026. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. 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.
Inspectors cited F686 in November 2024 and June 2025. This citation covers how the home prevents and treats pressure injuries (bedsores). 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.
F658 was cited in January 2024, March 2026, May 2026, June 2026 and July 2026. This citation covers whether the home’s services meet professional standards of quality. The most serious was level J (immediate jeopardy). The June 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Past Non-Compliance.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?
Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.
How often are residents checked for pressure injuries and repositioned, and who is responsible for it?
Pressure Injury Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.
How do you check that nurses and aides follow professional standards, and what happens when they do not?
Professional Standards: cited in five inspections, most seriously at level J. The June 11, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.
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.
What led to the 2026 fine, and has it been paid?
A $17,796 civil money penalty was imposed May 5, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds five enforcement actions in the window.
