ADPH posts each survey’s Statement of Deficiencies as a PDF (older ones are scans, which we read by OCR). From each report we show the deficiency tags, the rules they cite, ADPH’s own one-sentence finding and the complaint outcomes ADPH states; each cited rule is named in the rule’s own words (Alabama Administrative Code, chapter 420-5-4 for assisted living and 420-5-20 for specialty care assisted living). The report, and the facility’s plan of correction when ADPH posts it, are the official record. Some reports list a complaint as substantiated with no deficiency cited; we show both as ADPH wrote them. This community is licensed for 48 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
