Context
Patterns Worth Examining
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
- 1
Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Three Inspections
Inspectors cited F689 in June 2021, March 2023 and January 2025. 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 H (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
212325F689 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest - 2
Psychotropic Medications, Cited in Three Inspections
Inspectors cited F758 in June 2021, March 2023 and January 2025. This citation covers how psychotropic drugs are used, including dose reductions and limits on as-needed orders. 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.
212325F758 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest - 3
Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections
Inspectors cited F880 in March 2023 and January 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.
- 01
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 three inspections, most seriously at level H.
- 02
How many residents take psychotropic medications, and how often are doses reviewed for reduction?
Psychotropic Medications: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.
- 03
Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?
Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.
- 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.
- 05
What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?
A $68,471 civil money penalty was imposed January 9, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.

Coverage
Record windowJune 17, 2021 – October 1, 2026
- CMS publishes about three inspection cycles; inspections before June 2021 are not in this release.

- 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

- 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.
