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

1. 1

   Quality of Care, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F684 in June 2024, July 2025 and June 2026. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. 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

   How do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?

   Quality of Care: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

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

   Infection Control: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level E.

3. 03

   How do you adjust rooms, schedules and routines to a resident’s needs and preferences?

   Needs and Preferences: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

4. 04

   What changed after F912 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F912: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level B. The July 7, 2025 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.
