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

   Citation F640, Cited in Two Inspections

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

1. 01

   What changed after F640 was cited, and how do you check it now?

2. 02

   How often are care plans revised, and who takes part in the review?

   Care Plan Timing and Review: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

   Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

4. 04

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?
