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.

    Inspectors wroteBased on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure a resident was kept safe during a transfer by a staff member for 1 of 3 residents reviewed for accidents. (Resident B) This deficient practice resulted in Resident B sustaining a minimally displaced oblique fracture of the mid tibial diaphysis (a stable, angled break in the middle shaft of the shinbone) and a minimally displaced spiral fracture of the proximal fibular diaphysis (a stable, low-energy injury near the knee). The deficient practice was corrected on 3/27/26, prior to the start of the survey, and therefore was past noncompliance.
