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

1. 1

   Citation F730, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F730 in October 2019 and August 2024. The agency describes it this way: Observe each nurse aide's job performance and give regular training. 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.
