The citation was one of six deficiencies recorded during a complaint inspection completed on October 2, 2025.

That is what the public record shows.

The citation falls under a category inspectors call environmental deficiencies.

Inspectors classified the violation as a pattern, meaning it wasn't an isolated instance.

The citation that followed was an Immediate Jeopardy, the most serious level of deficiency the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services can assign.

Months later, that same resident ended up in a local emergency room with a head injury, a scalp abrasion, and a scalp hematoma.

That last phrase carries weight.

Inspectors rated the violation at Scope/Severity Level D, meaning it was isolated in scope and caused no documented actual harm.

The inspection, completed in October 2025, was triggered by a complaint.

The violation was one of eight deficiencies cited during the complaint inspection.

That finding was one of 39 deficiencies cited during the September 30 inspection of the facility.

It was happening across enough of the facility's operations to constitute a recurring problem.
