Deficiencies are counted from each inspection’s Statement of Deficiencies, which lists the rule cited (New Jersey Administrative Code 8:36 for assisted living) and, where the facility has filed one, its plan of correction. One inspection can cover both a routine visit and a complaint. Quoted findings are the surveyor’s opening sentence from the report; “[withheld by NJDOH]” marks a detail the state removes from public reports. Some reports are not online; NJDOH says to request those through OPRA, so counts cover only the reports posted. NJDOH: “In many cases, health care facilities are given the opportunity to correct deficiencies identified through inspection surveys without incurring fines or other penalties. The Department may, however, impose a monetary fine, curtail admissions, issue a conditional license, suspend or revoke a facility's license.” NJDOH: “Information on the status of a state recommendation for enforcement is available through OPRA.” A case listed here is a recommendation for enforcement; the outcome and any fine may not be shown. Facilities may request a formal hearing before the Office of Administrative Law to appeal deficiency findings and enforcement actions. This community is licensed for 73 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
