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 interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the assessment accurately reflected the resident's status for 1 of 8 residents (Resident #37) reviewed for assessments: Resident #37's quarterly MDS assessment, dated 05/17/2025, did not include a diagnosis of Anxiety.
