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 record review and interviews conducted during the Recertification survey from 5/9/2022 to 5/13/2022, the facility did not ensure that an assessment accurately reflected the resident's status.
