Questions to take to Core of Dale

  • CMS lists SFF. Ask for the latest inspection and current designation; historical list status is not a statement about conditions today.
  • Ask who is responsible for care decisions locally and at MAJOR HOSPITAL. A shared affiliation does not establish identical care at every location.
  • Check the source date and the latest official record before deciding. Bring the issues above to a visit or call rather than treating the profile as a recommendation.
