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

   Protection From Abuse and Neglect, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F600 in July 2024 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

2. 2

   Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in July 2026 and August 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program.
