Quality of life and daily care
78 citations between October 5, 2023 and July 1, 2026. The most serious was graded J — immediate jeopardy, affecting one or a very small number of residents.

Correction record: 78 citations show a recorded correction date.

How to read the severity grades
CMS grades combine how many residents were affected with how much harm occurred. Grades J–L are immediate jeopardy: a situation that caused, or was likely to cause, serious injury or death. Grades G–I mean a resident was actually harmed. Grades D–F mean no harm was found but the failure could have caused more than minimal harm, and A–C carry only minimal-harm potential. The second dimension matters too: the grade also tells you whether surveyors saw an isolated case, a pattern, or a facility-wide problem.

Public records are a starting point, not a conclusion
This profile of Mirage Post Acute uses official CMS provider data as a research starting point. It does not state that Mirage Post Acute abused or neglected any resident. A citation, fine, or rating becomes meaningful only when it is compared with the resident's own chart, the facility's explanation, and source documents with dates and outcome status.
Citation and penalty detail on this page comes from the CMS Provider Data health-deficiency, fire-safety, and penalties datasets, pulled October 12, 2026. Figures describe the facility's public inspection record; they do not by themselves prove what happened to any individual resident.
