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 8 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on review of the facility policy, observations, and interviews, the facility failed to ensure that medications were properly stored in 3 of 3 medication rooms.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review and interviews, the facility failed to ensure residents were informed of their right to have access to names, addresses and telephone numbers of all pertinent state regulatory and informational agencies, resident advocacy groups and information on filing a complaint and or reporting alleged abuse violations. The facility further failed to ensure residents knew where the above information was located within the facility as revealed by 10 of 10 residents during 1 of 1 resident council meeting.

These failures had the potential to lead to food-borne illness among all facility residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interview, and facility policy review, the facility failed to ensure effective hand hygiene during wound care and there was a way to restrict air flow between the dirty laundry and clean laundry area. This had the potential to cause wound infection and exposure to viruses and bacteria to any of the 121 residents in the facility.

This failure affected three residents (R17, R29, and R113) of 33 sampled residents reviewed for MDS assessment accuracy.
Inspectors wroteBased on observations, interviews, and record review, the facility failed to provide a splint device for contracture per plan of care for one of three residents (Resident (R) 112) reviewed for positioning/mobility of 33 sampled residents.
