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.

If staff serve food to a resident with an NPO order, then the resident is at risk for aspiration, choking, respiratory distress, and other preventable adverse outcomes.

The facility van driver failed to contact emergency medical services (EMS) after the resident sustained a fall with injury during transport to an appointment.
