Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F609 in October 2023 and October 2024. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. 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.
F912 was cited in March 2024, April 2025 and March 2026. The agency describes it this way: Provide rooms that are at least 80 square feet per resident in multiple rooms and 100 square feet for single resident rooms. The most serious was level B (potential for minimal harm). The March 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “No revisit needed.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.
