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 12 health citations on file.

Inspectors wrote2. A review of Resident #27's clinical record revealed the resident was discharged twice to the hospital on 2/6/25 and 4/9/25. A review of the clinical record, including the electronic health record, failed to locate evidence that notification was sent to the ombudsman. The Administrator was asked to provide a list of residents whose discharge or transfer was forwarded to the ombudsman on 6/23/25. The list did not include Resident #27. The Administrator was interviewed on 6/23/25 at 1:34 PM. She was shown the provided list of transfers and discharges. This surveyor explained the need to inform the ombudsman when a resident is admitted to the hospital. She replied I understand. Those are the names I was provided as to who was discharged or transferred. [...]

Inspectors wroteBased on observations, review of daily staffing records, and staff interview it was determined that the facility failed to post the total number and actual hours worked by categories of Registered Nurses (RN), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN), and Certified Geriatric Nurse Aides (GNA) per shift. This was evident on 6 of 7 days of the survey.
Inspectors wroteBased on medical record review and staff interview it was determined the facility staff failed to notify the resident/resident representative in writing of a transfer/discharge of a resident along with the reason for the transfer. This was evident for 3 (#155, #158, #2) of 3 residents reviewed for hospitalization.
