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

1. 1

   Reporting Suspected Abuse, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F609 in January 2023 and February 2025. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. 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.

1. 01

   How are staff trained to report suspected abuse or neglect, and who reports it to the state?

5. 05

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