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.

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

1. 01

   May we try a meal, and how do you check food temperature by the time it reaches residents?

   Food Quality and Temperature: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level D. The August 28, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

2. 02

   What changed after F805 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F805: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level D. The August 28, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

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 November 12, 2021; anything earlier is not in it.
