What the inspectors found
Every deficiency on record, by how serious CMS judged it

Immediate jeopardyA resident was placed in immediate danger. The most serious band CMS uses.2
Actual harmA resident was harmed, but not placed in immediate danger.2
Potential for more than minimal harmNo resident was harmed, but the failing could have caused it.42
