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 13 health citations on file.

The rinse stream had multiple submerged inlets that hang below the overflow rim of the rinse table and was not observed with an atmospheric vacuum breaker (AVB) that would protect the potable water supply from potential back siphonage (due to the submerged inlets). An interview with Director of Facilities (DOF) J found that he has only been here a couple months and was not sure if the submerged inlets were protected with an AVB. [...]
