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

1. 1

   Dignity and Resident Rights, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F550 in May 2024, February 2025 and April 2026. This citation covers residents’ right to dignity, to make their own choices and to communicate.
