Inspection record

In its last three standard inspections and any complaint visits, federal inspectors cited 20 problems at German Center For Extended Care. None of them caused harm to a resident. 4 came from investigating complaints by residents or families.

A citation on its own does not mean poor care, and most are corrected within weeks. What matters most is how serious the findings were and whether the same problems keep coming back. When you visit, it is fair to ask the administrator what inspectors found and what has changed since.
