A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

1. 1

   Accurate Assessments, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F641 in July 2021 and May 2022. This citation covers whether each resident’s assessment correctly records their condition. None rose above level D (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

   Inspectors cited F656 in July 2021 and May 2022. This citation covers whether each resident has a written care plan that meets their needs, with goals that can be measured.

Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

1. 01

   Who completes resident assessments, and how are they checked for accuracy?

   Accurate Assessments: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

   No staffing citation appears in this window. Staffing levels are published separately by CMS and are worth asking about directly.

4. 04

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts March 20, 2019; anything earlier is not in it.
