West Haven Center: Discharge Notice Violations - CT
Federal inspectors cited West Haven Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation under deficiency tag F0627, which concerns the right of residents to receive sufficient notice and readiness support before a transfer or discharge takes place. The inspection, completed November 25, 2025, identified the problem as affecting a few residents.
The facility's own plan of correction acknowledged the obligation to provide and document that preparation, and committed to doing so as information became available.
Inspectors rated the level of harm as minimal harm or potential for actual harm. That rating sits at the lower end of the federal scale, but it does not mean the residents involved experienced no disruption. A transfer out of a nursing home, handled without adequate preparation, can leave a resident without a clear understanding of where they are going, why, or what comes next. For elderly and often medically complex residents, that gap is not a paperwork problem.
The inspection was triggered by a complaint, meaning someone, whether a resident, a family member, or another party, contacted regulators before inspectors arrived. The facility did not identify that complaint publicly in the documents available, and the narrative portion of the inspection report was limited in detail, cutting off before the full account of what inspectors found.
What the record shows is that the facility fell short of its obligation to prepare residents for one of the most disorienting transitions they can face, and that the deficiency was significant enough to survive a complaint investigation and result in a formal citation.
West Haven Center for Nursing & Rehabilitation operates at 310 Terrace Ave in West Haven, Connecticut, under provider identification number 075201.

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.
