Health inspections

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.

Staffing by quarter, from daily payroll records

Every nursing home sends CMS its staff hours for each day (the Payroll Based Journal). Here they are added up by quarter. The latest quarter is the one behind the figures above. In January to March 2026, nursing staff hours per resident were 4.23 on weekdays and 3.50 on weekends, 17% lower on weekends (nationally, weekends ran 15% lower). Contract or agency staff worked 8.7% of nursing hours, against 5.3% nationally. Total nursing hours per resident went from 4.18 in April to June 2025 to 4.02 in January to March 2026.
