1 immediate-jeopardy citation in prior inspection cycles
Serious past findings — check whether the underlying problems were fixed and stayed fixed.
Cited under the freedom-from-abuse rule
Cited 1 time under F600 (freedom from abuse/neglect) below the actual-harm level — worth asking about on a tour.
Total nurse staffing below 3.0 hours per resident-day
1.91 reported hours vs the 3.48 minimum CMS's own staffing study recommends.
