Every deficiency on record, by how serious CMS judged it

The last 8 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.
Allow residents to self-administer drugs if determined clinically appropriate.
