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

   Infection Control, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in July 2023, April 2025 and June 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program.
