Martine Center: Care Plan Update Failures Cited - NY
Federal inspectors who visited the 12 Tibbits Avenue facility on August 25, 2025 found that care plans were not being revised when residents transitioned out of rehabilitation. The Director of Nursing, identified in inspection records only as Director of Nursing #1, confirmed the problem directly to surveyors. She told them she was going to get up from rehabilitation and update the resident care plan herself.
That statement, offered as a corrective promise, was also an admission. Nobody had been doing it.
Care plans are the document that drives daily decisions about a resident's treatment, assistance, and goals. When a resident moves through rehabilitation and their condition changes, a care plan that hasn't been updated no longer reflects reality. Staff working from outdated plans are working from the wrong picture.
Inspectors rated the violation at the lower end of the federal harm scale, classifying it as minimal harm or potential for actual harm, with few residents affected. The deficiency was cited under F0656, the federal tag covering comprehensive care plan development and implementation.
The inspection was conducted in response to a complaint.
Martine Center has not publicly commented on the findings. For information on the facility's plan to correct the deficiency, CMS directs inquiries to the nursing home or the state survey agency.
What the record shows is a Director of Nursing who learned about the gap from federal inspectors rather than from her own oversight systems, and residents whose care documentation had not kept pace with their recovery.

Data source: This article is based on inspection data downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases inspection reports in bulk; we publish the findings as documented by state surveyors in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies.
Plan of correction: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to state survey agencies and those responses may not be reflected in CMS data at the time of publication. The absence of a plan of correction in our data does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken are encouraged to contact the facility directly or their state survey agency.
Corrections may have occurred: Inspection reports reflect conditions observed on the date of the survey. Facilities may have implemented corrections, staffing changes, additional training, or other remediation since the report was issued. We report what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
Editorial process: Inspection findings are extracted from CMS source documents and synthesized using AI, reviewed for factual accuracy against the original report by our editorial team.
