Immediate jeopardy is the most serious finding an inspector can make: a situation likely to cause serious injury, harm, or death.
2 abuse-related citations at the actual-harm level
Inspectors cited failures in the abuse-prevention rules (F600–F610) that resulted in actual harm to a resident.
$68,647 in federal fines in the last 24 months
1 fine — CMS fines are reserved for verified, serious non-compliance.
