What the inspectors found

Every deficiency on record, by how serious CMS judged it

CMS grades each finding from A to L on two axes: how badly residents were affected, and how many. These are its bands, not ours. The figures cover every standard and complaint survey on record, which is a longer window than the rating cycle above.

Immediate jeopardyA resident was placed in immediate danger. The most serious band CMS uses.0
Actual harmA resident was harmed, but not placed in immediate danger.0
Potential for more than minimal harmNo resident was harmed, but the failing could have caused it.6
Potential for minimal harmThe least serious band.0
