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

1. 01

   How long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

   Help With Daily Living: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   How do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?

   Quality of Care: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level E.

3. 03

   What changed after F803 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F803: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level F.

4. 04

   How is continence care scheduled, and how do you prevent urinary infections?

   Continence and Catheter Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

5. 05

   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.

6. 06

   What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in seven inspections, most seriously at level G. The July 15, 2025 citation has no recorded correction date.

7. 07

   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.

8. 08

   What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $10,358 civil money penalty was imposed August 4, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Illinois state survey agency.
