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.

    F689 · Quality of Life and Care · Actual harm, isolated · found on a complaint visit · Past noncompliance: already fixed when inspectors found it
    Inspectors wroteBased on observation, interviews, and record reviews, the facility failed to ensure residents were free from hazards for 1 (Resident #1) out of 8 sampled residents. This deficient practice resulted in actual harm on 03/12/2026 during the 10:00 a.m. group activity when Resident #1 spilled hot coffee on her lap. The dietary staff failed to follow the facility's hot beverage policy when S8DA distributed coffee for residents at an unsafe temperature. As a result, Resident #1 sustained a 2nd degree and a 3rd degree burn to her left thigh and received treatment at the facility. The facility implemented a corrective action plan on 03/15/2026 and was in substantial compliance at the time of the state agency's investigation on 03/31/2026; thus it was determined to be a Past Noncompliance citation.
