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

1. 1

   Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F689 in June 2023 and October 2024. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. 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.

2. 2

   Psychotropic Medications, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F758 in October 2021 and October 2024. This citation covers how psychotropic drugs are used, including dose reductions and limits on as-needed orders. 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.

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

1. 01

   What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   How many residents take psychotropic medications, and how often are doses reviewed for reduction?

   Psychotropic Medications: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

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

   No staffing citation appears in this window. Staffing levels are published separately by CMS and are worth asking about directly.

4. 04

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts October 13, 2021; anything earlier is not in it.
