The Grove at Valhalla: Abuse Reporting Failure - NY
The inspection, completed November 20, 2025, was a complaint investigation. Inspectors cited the facility under F0609, the federal tag that covers a nursing home's duty to report allegations of abuse, neglect, exploitation, and related incidents to the appropriate authorities within required timeframes. The citation references New York State regulation 10NYCRR 415.4(b)(1)(ii), the state-level rule governing the same obligation.
The details of what happened, who was involved, and what went unreported are not described in the portion of the inspection record available. What the record does say is that an incident occurred, and that the facility did not handle the reporting of it correctly.
Inspectors assessed the level of harm as minimal, or potential for actual harm, and noted that a few residents were affected.
The Grove at Valhalla Rehab and Nursing Center is located at 61 Grasslands Road in Valhalla, a hamlet in Westchester County. The facility's provider identification number is 335809.
A plan of correction for the deficiency was not included in the available record. CMS directs anyone seeking that information to contact the facility or the state survey agency directly.
What the record leaves open is the question that matters most in any failure-to-report case: whether the delay or omission changed anything for the residents involved. Reporting requirements exist precisely because outside review, whether by a state agency, law enforcement, or an ombudsman, is the mechanism that determines whether an incident was isolated or part of something larger. When that report does not go out on time, or does not go out at all, that review either happens late or does not happen.
The inspection record does not say which outcome applied here.

Additional Resources
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.
