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

1. 1

   Medical Records, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F842 in August 2025 and March 2026. This citation covers whether resident records are complete, accurate and kept confidential. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

   252526F842 across all 3 inspections, oldest to newest

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

1. 01

   How can a family request a resident’s records, and how are they kept accurate?

   Medical Records: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   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.

3. 03

   What led to the 2026 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $25,002 civil money penalty was imposed March 25, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Louisiana state survey agency.
