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.
The last 20 findings, newest first
Each is the federal requirement the home was found not to meet, in CMS’s own wording, with the tag number so it can be looked up against the inspection report.
