Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F812 in August 2022, November 2023 and October 2024. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. 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 F676 in August 2022 and November 2023. The agency describes it this way: Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason. 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.
Inspectors cited F689 in August 2022 and May 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 G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F880 in November 2023 and May 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.
F760 was cited in December 2025. This citation covers whether residents are free from significant medication errors. The most serious was level J (immediate jeopardy). The December 2025 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Past Non-Compliance.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.
