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 10 health citations on file.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to follow standards of infection control and prevention for 3 of 20 sampled residents (#10, #35, and #191) observed during personal cares. Failure to practice infection control standards related to hand hygiene/glove use and enhanced barrier precautions has the potential to spread infection throughout the facility.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and staff interview, the facility failed to post the actual hours worked by nursing staff directly responsible for resident care on 2 of 4 days of survey (June 10-11, 2025). Failure to post the actual hours worked by licensed and unlicensed nursing staff per shift and in a visible location does not allow residents and/or their families to be aware of the number of staff on duty.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, review of the Long-Term Care Facility Resident Assessment Instrument (RAI) 3.0 User's Manual (Version 1.18.11) and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate coding of the Minimum Data Set (MDS) for 2 of 20 sampled residents (Resident #35 and #79). Failure to accurately complete the MDS does not allow each resident's assessment to reflect their current status/needs and may affect the accurate development of a comprehensive care plan and the care provided to the residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents received the necessary services to maintain oral hygiene for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #28) dependent on staff for oral cares. Failure to provide oral care for a dependent resident may result in poor hygiene, increased oral/dental problems, and potential for adverse health effects.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure residents remained free from significant medication errors for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #28) observed receiving insulin. Failure to administer insulin according to a physician's order may result in adverse health effects for the residents.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, record review, review of facility policy, review of professional reference, and staff interview, the facility failed to follow standards of infection control and prevention for 2 of 12 sampled residents (Resident #28 and #79) and one supplemental resident (Resident #43) observed during cares. Failure to practice infection control standards related to use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and hand hygiene has the potential to spread infection throughout the facility.
Inspectors wroteBased on review of Medicare Part A letters/notices and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure the completion of the Centers for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) Skilled Nursing Facility Advance Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNFABN) form CMS-10055 for 1 of 2 residents (Resident #78) discharged from Medicare Part A services who remained in the facility. Failure to ensure the resident and/or resident representative received all available options for care and the option to appeal the termination of coverage has the potential to hinder the residents' right to an expedited review of a service termination.
Inspectors wroteBased on record review, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to identify a resident's history of trauma, and/or triggers for 1 of 3 sampled residents (Resident #26) reviewed for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Trauma. Failure to identify a resident's history of trauma, and/or triggers may cause re-traumatization.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation, review of facility policy, and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure accurate labeling of medications for 1 of 2 medication carts (Friendship Unit) observed during medication storage review. Failure to correctly label an insulin pen increases the risk of the wrong resident receiving the insulin.
Inspectors wroteBased on observation and review of facility policy, the facility failed to follow standards of infection control for 1 of 1 sampled resident (Resident #46) observed during personal cares and application of a dressing. Failure to follow infection control practices regarding hand hygiene during cares and dressing application has the potential for transmission of communicable diseases and infections to residents, staff, and visitors.
