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

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

3. 03

   When an allegation is made, who investigates it, and how are residents protected in the meantime?

   May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

6. 06

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?
