1. 1

   Accurate Assessments, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F641 in October 2023 and February 2025. This citation covers whether each resident’s assessment correctly records their condition. 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.
