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

1. 01

   Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

   Infection Control: cited in four inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

3. 03

   What happened after the medication error citation, and how are high-risk drugs double-checked?

   Significant Medication Errors: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

4. 04

   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.

5. 05

   What led to the 2023 fine, and has it been paid?

   An $11,538 civil money penalty was imposed December 11, 2023. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds four enforcement actions in the window.
