Federal rules call for a standard inspection at least every 15 months, plus a visit whenever a complaint is filed. Each mark below is one citation, colored by how serious inspectors rated it. How to read a citation.
Under each citation, the quoted text is the inspector's own summary from the federal statement of deficiencies (CMS form 2567), word for word apart from a privacy scrub; CMS removes residents' and staff names before it publishes the text. The full notes are on Medicare.gov.
CMS rates every citation by how much harm it caused (rows) and how many residents it touched (columns). The count in each box is this home's, across all 25 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and staff and Physician interviews, the facility failed to notify the resident's Physician and Responsible Party when Resident #2 received subcutaneous (administered under the skin) fluids ordered for the roommate (Resident #4), resulting in an error. This error constituted a treatment error that required physician notification. This deficient practice affected 1 of 3 residents reviewed for notification of change (Resident #2).
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and interviews with staff and the Physician, the facility failed to ensure that subcutaneous (administered under the skin) fluids were administered in accordance with the physician's order for one resident reviewed for parenteral fluid administration (the delivery of fluid through an intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, or mucosal route) (Resident #2). Resident #2 received subcutaneous fluids that were ordered for her roommate, Resident #4. This deficient practice did not result in an adverse outcome.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and staff, Nurse Practitioner and Consultant Pharmacist interviews, the pharmacy failed to notify the facility of a clinical high priority recommendation that required a prompt response. This failure contributed to the facility not administering the antibiotics cefdinir and doxycycline prescribed to a resident (Resident # 4) for sepsis due to pneumonia from 7/17/25 through 7/20/25. This occurred for 1 of 5 residents reviewed for medication administration.

There was no significant outcome due to either of the medication errors. This deficient practice occurred for 1 of 1 resident (Resident #4) reviewed for significant medication errors.

This deficient practice had the potential to affect the food served to the residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, record review and staff interviews the facility failed to maintain a medication rate greater than 5% when 4 medications were noted to be omitted.

This occurred for 1 of 5 residents (Resident #21) reviewed for medication administration.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and staff interviews the facility failed to maintain sanitizing solutions used in the kitchen at the strength recommended by the manufacturer and failed to ensure refrigerated food items stored for use in the walk-in refrigerator for residents' meals were dated.

This resulted in the resident (Resident #3) falling from the lift and sustaining injuries to the left side of his head, left wrist, and left elbow. This occurred when the facility Transport Driver was picking up Resident #3 from a doctor's office appointment on 11/29/2023. The office personnel called emergency medical services (EMS) and Resident #3 was transported to the emergency room (ER) at Hospital #1, where he was diagnosed with a traumatic subdural hematoma (pool of blood between the brain and the outermost layer that can put pressure on the brain) without loss of consciousness.

Inspectors wroteBased on observations, record review, and staff and resident interviews, the facility's Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) program failed to maintain implemented procedures and monitor interventions the committee put in place following the recertification and complaint investigation survey completed on 7/27/2023. This was for a deficiency cited in the area of Accidents Hazard/ Supervision/Devices (F689) that was subsequently recited during the complaint investigation conducted on 1/5/2024. The continued failure during two federal surveys of record shows a pattern of the facility's inability to sustain an effective QAPI program. This tag is cross-referenced to: [...]
