Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Telling Families About Changes, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F580 in February 2023 and February 2024. This citation covers whether the resident, their doctor and a family member are told promptly about an injury, a decline or another significant change. 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.

   23242526F580 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest

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

1. 01

   How quickly will we hear about a fall, an injury or a change in condition, and from whom?

   Telling Families About Changes: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   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.

3. 03

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts February 23, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Georgia Department of Community Health, Healthcare Facility Regulation Division.
