Inspectors cited F600 in May 2024 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. 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.
Inspectors cited F812 in May 2025 and September 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 F851 in April 2024 and May 2025. The agency describes it this way: Electronically submit to CMS complete and accurate direct care staffing information, based on payroll and other verifiable and auditable data. 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.

The agency describes it this way: Designate a qualified infection preventionist to be responsible for the infection prevent and control program in the nursing home. 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.
