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 December 2022 and January 2025. 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.
