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

1. 1

   Residents Taking Their Own Medication, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F554 in January 2025 and January 2026. This citation covers whether a resident who keeps and takes their own medication has been assessed as safe to do so. None rose above level D (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

4. 04

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?
