Does SOUTH LYON MEDICAL CENTER have a federal violation or abuse history?

According to the public federal record on file with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), SOUTH LYON MEDICAL CENTER (CCN 295011), in YERINGTON, NV, has federal inspection findings on its record. In its current inspection cycle, CMS cited the facility for 11 deficiencies; the most serious carries scope/severity E on CMS's A–L scale. Citations from earlier inspection cycles appear in the dated timeline below as historical findings, not current ones. This page restates the federal record as published by CMS and draws no conclusion of its own. Strict time limits can apply to claims like these — consider consulting a qualified attorney promptly. Federal nursing-home surveys are conducted on a recurring cycle by state survey agencies acting on CMS's behalf, and the figures on this page are compiled from CMS's published provider data, as on file with federal regulators; the federal record may understate what actually occurred, and inspection findings are point-in-time survey results, not a determination that any specific resident was harmed.
