Inspection Findings

Review of the current care plan revealed that Resident 1 was at risk for falls with an intervention for staff to ensure that the resident had a reacher (an assistive tool to help retrieve objects) placed within her reach. In an interview at 1:30 p.m., on September 4, 2025, Resident 1 stated, I haven't had my reacher in a while. I would like to have it.

In an interview on September 4, 2025, at 1:45 p.m., LPNS 1 confirmed that the reacher for Resident 1 was a current intervention and that it was not in the resident's room for her to use.

Source: This inspection report was downloaded directly from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) via Medicare.gov. CMS releases nursing home inspection reports in bulk. The findings reflect what state surveyors documented in the official Form CMS-2567 Statement of Deficiencies on the date of the inspection.
Plan of correction not included: The CMS report we receive does not include the facility's plan of correction. Facilities submit plans of correction separately to their state survey agency and those responses may not appear in CMS public data at the time of release. The absence of a plan of correction in this report does not mean one was not filed. Readers who want information about corrective steps taken by the facility are encouraged to contact the facility or their state survey agency directly.
Corrections may have been made: This report reflects conditions observed on the date of the survey. The facility may have implemented staffing changes, additional training, policy revisions, or other corrective actions since this report was issued. We publish what CMS provides and encourage readers to seek current information from the facility.
