Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

   Help With Daily Living, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F677 in May 2023 and August 2025. This citation covers help with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting for residents who cannot manage alone.
