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

1. 1

   Coordinating Mental Health Screening, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F644 in July 2023 and December 2025. This citation covers whether assessments are coordinated with the state’s pre-admission screening for mental illness and intellectual disability (PASARR), and referrals made. 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.
