Loaded survey records window — Earliest loaded survey: January 2023; Latest loaded survey: January 2025. These dates describe records loaded by POCDesk, not a CMS release or publication timestamp.

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.
