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

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

1. 01

   How do you check that nurses and aides follow professional standards, and what happens when they do not?

   Professional Standards: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

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

3. 03

   How are medication passes checked, and what happens when an error is found?

5. 05

   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.

   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 June 27, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.
