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 5 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and review of the facility policy, the facility failed to ensure staff consistently maintained catheter drainage bags covered and positioned appropriately to maintain resident dignity for 2 of 2 residents (R22 and R51) reviewed. This deficient practice had the potential to create diminished dignity, and contamination risk.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, record review, and facility policy, the facility failed to ensure that a resident who required assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) received necessary care and services, specifically nail care and facial grooming, for 1 of 2 residents reviewed for ADL care (Resident (R)78). This deficient practice had the potential to affect the resident's dignity and personal hygiene.

The facility crushed medications labeled as delayed-release and extended-release and failed to ensure a resident rinsed their mouth after administration of an inhaled corticosteroid, resulting in significant medication errors with the potential for altered drug absorption, reduced therapeutic effect, and avoidable infection risk.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, interviews, and policy review, the facility failed to ensure a portable compressed oxygen cylinder was safely stored in a secured device for one (Resident (R) 113) of three sampled residents reviewed for oxygen use. The deficient practice had the potential for severe physical harm if the pressurized cylinder was to be knocked over and explode.

On 09/25/24 at 4:57 PM, the survey team provided the Administrator with a copy of the CMS Immediate Jeopardy (IJ) Template, informing the facility IJ existed as of 09/11/24. The IJ was related to 42 CFR 483.10 (a) (1) - Resident Rights. On 09/26/24, the facility provided an acceptable IJ Removal Plan. [...]
