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 8 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey conducted from 07/16/2025 to 07/23/2025, the facility failed to ensure that residents were free from physical restraints for purposes of discipline or convenience and that are not required to treat the resident's medical symptoms. This was evident for 5 (Residents #29, 142, #206, #125, and #3) of 8 residents reviewed for physical restraints out of 35 total sampled residents. Specifically, 1.) Residents #29, 142, #206, #125, and #3 were observed on multiple occasions in bed with both upper and lower half side rails raised on both sides. All 5 residents had impaired cognition; were either dependent on staff or required substantial / maximal assistance for bed mobility; and were unable to easily and voluntarily release the side rails.

Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, and interviews during the Recertification Survey conducted from 07/16/2025 to 07/23/2025, the facility failed to ensure that residents admitted with a limited Range of Motion and/or mobility, are provided services and/or treatment to increase range of motion/mobility and/or to prevent further decrease in range of motion/mobility, including the provision of equipment for limited mobility. This was evident for 2 (Residents # 20 and #85) of 4 residents reviewed for Position Mobility/Limited Range of Motion, out of 35 total sampled residents. Specifically, Residents #20 and #85, who had contractures, were observed without hand rolls as ordered by the physician to improve the residents' contractures.

Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, and interviews conducted during the Recertification Survey from 07/16/2025 to 07/23/2025, the facility failed to ensure the nursing staff information posting was accurate and complete.

Inspectors wroteBased on record review and interviews conducted during the recertification survey 5/9/23 to 5/16/23, the facility did not ensure Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessments were electronically transmitted to the Quality Improvement Evaluation System (QIES) Assessment Submission and Processing (ASAP) system in a timely manner. This was evident for 2 (Resident #108 and #144) of 4 residents reviewed for Resident Assessment out of a sample size of 35 residents. Specifically, the MDS assessments for Resident #108 and #144 were not submitted and transmitted within 14 days of the completion date.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and interview conducted during the Recertification survey from 5/9/23 to 5/16/23, the facility did not ensure Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessments accurately reflected the resident's status. This was evident for 2 (Resident #112 and #23)of 35 sampled residents. Specifically, 1) the MDS assessment for Resident #112 did not document the resident's dialysis treatment, and 2) the MDS assessment for Resident #23 did not document the resident's Gradual Dose Reduction (GDR) status.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and record review, conducted during the recertification survey from 5/9/23 to 5/16/23, the facility did not ensure a comprehensive care plan (CCP) was developed and implemented for each resident to meet the resident's medical needs identified in the comprehensive assessment. This was evident for 1 (Resident #23) of 35 total sampled resident. Specifically, Resident #23 did not have a CCP developed to address antibiotic therapy (ABT) use for a bacterial infection in their Arteriovenous graft (AVG).
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, record review, and interviews conducted during the Recertification survey from 5/9/23 to 5/16/23, the facility did not ensure that a resident participated in the review of their Comprehensive Care Plan (CCP, and a resident's CCP was not reviewed and revised upon each assessment. This was evident for 2 (Resident #112 and #23) of 35 total sampled residents. Specifically, 1) Resident #112 was not invited to attend CCP meetings to discuss their plan of care, and 2) Resident #23's CCP related to mood was not reviewed and revised upon each Minimum Data Set 3.0 (MDS) assessment.
