Sources, freshness, and limitations
Source: official CMS datasets, including Provider Information, Health Deficiencies, and Penalties. View the CMS data source. The available rating record has a CMS processing date of August 2026. POCDesk last refreshed that rating record on September 2026.
POCDesk groups citations by survey date, counts recurring F-Tags across the available history, and summarizes CMS scope/severity codes. Those summaries are POCDesk organization and interpretation of public records, not official ratings or survey findings of our own. Read the governing 42 CFR Part 483 and our editorial standards and methodology.
Counts alone do not explain the residents affected, corrective work completed, current conditions, appeals, or whether a finding was later changed. Data can be delayed, suppressed, incomplete, or revised by CMS. Verify important decisions with Medicare Care Compare, state survey records, the facility, and an in-person visit.
If a record appears inaccurate, use the feedback control on the interactive profile to report it. POCDesk reviews correction reports against the underlying public source rather than silently replacing official data.
