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

1. 1

   Nutrition and Hydration, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F692 in April 2022 and July 2023. This citation covers whether residents get enough food and fluids to stay healthy. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

   22232426F692 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest

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

1. 01

   How are weight and fluid intake tracked, and what happens when a resident starts losing weight?

   Nutrition and Hydration: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

2. 02

   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.

3. 03

   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 April 7, 2022; anything earlier is not in it.

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