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

   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 D.

2. 02

   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 two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

4. 04

   What happened after the medication error citation, and how are high-risk drugs double-checked?

   Significant Medication Errors: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

5. 05

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

6. 06

   What led to the 2026 fine, and has it been paid?
