About this record: 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 CMS; 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.

You may be reading this record for the first time.

If something happened to someone you love at this facility, this federal record may be new to you today. The company that operates a nursing home, by contrast, is rarely seeing records like this for the first time — operators like these typically retain standing legal, risk, and insurance teams whose routine work includes records exactly like the one on this page. That is not a judgment of this facility; it is how the business is structured. Because strict time limits can apply, families often find it helps to have a qualified person review the record with them sooner rather than later.

No call centers, no auctions. CareSentinel is an independent service that compiles the public CMS record and does not provide legal advice. The federal record is a point-in-time inspection record and may understate what actually occurred. CareSentinel is operated by Nodal Logics LLC.

Strict time limits can apply to taking legal action — consider consulting a qualified attorney promptly.

How to read this record

Making sense of a CMS inspection record

CMS scores every citation on a grid from A to L, combining how widespread a finding was with how serious it was. A–C is a deficiency CMS classifies as no harm; D–F as the potential for harm; G–I as actual harm that reached a resident; and J–L as immediate jeopardy, CMS’s most serious level. Later letters mark more serious findings.

Three questions to ask on a tour

  • How is the home staffed on nights, weekends, and holidays?
  • What happens when a resident’s condition changes suddenly?
  • How, and how quickly, are families told about an incident?
