Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F689 in October 2024, December 2024 and April 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level L (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F600 in May 2024 and May 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.
Inspectors cited F867 in December 2024 and April 2025. The agency describes it this way: Set up an ongoing quality assessment and assurance group to review quality deficiencies and develop corrective plans of action. None rose above level F (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F880 in April 2025 and December 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?
A $10,953 civil money penalty was imposed April 22, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds seven enforcement actions in the window.
