Inspectors cited the home under F0677, which covers personal hygiene and grooming, and recorded the harm level as minimal, with few residents affected.

Inspectors rated it a Level D violation, meaning the lapse was isolated and no actual harm was recorded.

Federal inspectors cited the facility for actual harm following a complaint inspection completed November 17, 2025.

The November 2025 complaint inspection turned up 14 separate deficiencies at the 501-person town's only nursing home.

The citation, issued on November 19, 2025, fell under a category of resident rights deficiencies.

The citation, issued November 17, 2025, fell under the pharmacy services category.

At Sarcoxie Health Care Center, federal inspectors found that residents could not count on that.

The Director of Nursing is not a peripheral figure in a nursing home.

None of those requirements were consistently enforced.

The inspection, completed November 17, 2025, was triggered by a complaint, not a routine survey.

The citation was not a paperwork problem.
