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

   Inspectors cited F761 in August 2022 and November 2023. This citation covers how drugs are labeled and kept locked, including controlled drugs.

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

1. 01

   How are medications stored and secured, and who checks the medication carts?

   Medication Labeling and Storage: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   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 F.

3. 03

   What changed after F923 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F923: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

4. 04

   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.

5. 05

   What led to the 2023 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $17,160 civil money penalty was imposed November 30, 2023. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Colorado state survey agency.
