Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Notice Before Transfer or Discharge, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F623 in February 2022, October 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers notice to the resident, their representative and the ombudsman before a transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. 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.

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

1. 01

   When do you transfer or discharge a resident, and how much notice do families get?

   Notice Before Transfer or Discharge: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   How long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

   Help With Daily Living: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

3. 03

   Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

   Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

4. 04

   What happened after the abuse or neglect citation, and what changed in training or supervision?

   Protection From Abuse and Neglect: cited in five inspections, most seriously at level D. The August 13, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

5. 05

   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.

6. 06

   What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

   An $8,278 civil money penalty was imposed November 6, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
