These figures are the four-quarter averages published in the CMS MDS Quality Measures file (official release October 28, 2026; measure period 2025Q3-2026Q2; processing date October 1, 2026). They are not a grade this site assigned. A “used in Five-Star” flag is the published CMS field that says whether that measure feeds the quality-measure star rating.

Inspection citations
18 health citations in the CMS file (9 from complaint surveys). Highest scope/severity letter in the file: G — Isolated, actual harm.
The list below is drawn from the CMS Health Deficiencies file. We show the tag, a plain-language reading of the scope and severity letter, whether the survey was a standard or complaint survey, the survey date, and whether CMS recorded a correction. We do not reprint the official deficiency narrative here. Read that text on TULIP or Medicare.gov. A facility may appeal a finding; a successful appeal can alter or remove a citation.
Scope and severity letters (A–L)
CMS assigns one letter from a grid of scope (how widely a problem was found) and severity (how serious the harm was or could be). The short labels below are our wording of that grid, not a different rating system.
| Severity | Isolated | Pattern | Widespread |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potential for minimal harm | A | B | C |
| No actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm | D | E | F |
| Actual harm | G | H | I |
| Immediate jeopardy | J | K | L |
