Freedom from abuse, neglect, and exploitation
4 citations between September 11, 2025 and February 11, 2026. The most serious was graded L — immediate jeopardy, affecting widespread across the facility.

Correction record: 4 citations show a recorded correction date.
These citations go to the core duty to protect residents. Ask how the home screens and trains staff, how allegations are investigated, and whether the same staff or unit appears in more than one report.

F-0732 · December 18, 2024 · Grade D — Post nurse staffing information every day.
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 Aviata At Big Bend uses official CMS provider data as a research starting point. It does not state that Aviata At Big Bend abused or neglected any resident.

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.
