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

1. 1

   A Clean, Homelike Setting, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F584 in July 2022 and April 2026. This citation covers whether rooms and shared spaces are kept safe, clean, comfortable and homelike. 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.

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

1. 01

   What was done about the cleanliness citation, and how are rooms and shared spaces checked now?

   A Clean, Homelike Setting: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   How are medications stored and secured, and who checks the medication carts?

   Medication Labeling and Storage: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

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

   What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $75,433 civil money penalty was imposed April 2, 2025. 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 Maine state survey agency.
