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

1. 1

   Medication Labeling and Storage, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F761 in February 2022, September 2023 and March 2024. This citation covers how drugs are labeled and kept locked, including controlled drugs. 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.

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

1. 01

   How are medications stored and secured, and who checks the medication carts?

   Medication Labeling and Storage: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

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

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

3. 03

   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.

4. 04

   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 11, 2022; anything earlier is not in it.
