1. 1

   Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F812 in August 2022 and January 2026. 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 F880 in November 2024 and January 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program.
