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 September 2022 and March 2026. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
