Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F690 in October 2022, September 2023 and June 2025. This citation covers continence care, catheter care and preventing urinary tract infections.

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.
