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

1. 1

   Professional Standards, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F658 in February 2024 and February 2025. This citation covers whether the home’s services meet professional standards of quality. 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.
