New Mexico’s License Oversight Bureau posts each survey’s Statement of Deficiencies as a scanned PDF. We read the scans by OCR and show, for each report, the survey date, the kind of survey in the state’s words, each deficiency tag with the rule it cites and the state’s own one-sentence finding when OCR reads it whole. Each rule is named by its heading in New Mexico’s assisted living rules: 7.8.2 NMAC until June 30, 2024, and 8.370.14 NMAC (same section numbers) since July 1, 2024. The rules say: “If violations of this rule are cited, the facility will be provided with an official statement of deficiencies within 10 business days following the survey.” The facility’s plan of correction is printed in the right-hand column of the same report. The reports give no severity level for assisted living deficiencies, and the state’s site lists no fines or license actions. Revisit reports often repeat the complaint outcomes of the survey they follow up on; we count each complaint once. The state’s site (alf.hca.nm.gov) has not answered since at least September 2026, so we read the listing and reports from the Internet Archive’s copies, captured between January 16, 2026 and June 12, 2026. Reports the state posted after that are not shown. This community is licensed for 24 residents; larger communities are inspected and reported on more often, so read counts with size in mind.
