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.

    Inspectors wroteBased on interview, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from sexual abuse for three of six residents reviewed for abuse (Resident (R) 2, R3, and R6). Specifically, R1 displayed inappropriate sexual behaviors towards others on 6/20/2025 when she grabbed a male housekeeper's private area (groin) and buttocks. The resident's inappropriate sexual behavior towards staff members progressed to resident's on the South Pavillion unit sustaining sexual abuse. Even though the facility was aware of R1's inappropriate sexual behavior and her abuse of other residents, the facility failed to implement any interventions to protect the residents who resided on the unit.

    Inspectors wroteBased on interview, record review, and review of the facility policy titled, Comprehensive Care Plans, the facility failed to revise the resident's care plan with nonpharmacological interventions for inappropriate sexual behavior for one of nine sampled residents (Resident (R) 1). This failure led to multiple residents on the South Pavillion unit being victims of sexual abuse by R1. Cross Reference: F600 Free from Abuse and Neglect. The facility's failure to ensure R1's care plan was revised with interventions protecting residents from sexual abuse had caused or was likely to cause serious injury, harm, impairment, or death to a resident. An Immediate Jeopardy was identified on 8/15/2025 and was determined to exist on 6/20/2025.
