Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Citation F561, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F561 in May 2024 and July 2025. The agency describes it this way: Honor the resident's right to and the facility must promote and facilitate resident self-determination through support of resident choice. 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.

2. 2

   Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F689 in October 2023 and September 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level J (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

3. 3

   Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in May 2024 and July 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

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

1. 01

   What changed after F561 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F561: 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?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level J.

3. 03

   Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

4. 04

   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 October 13, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.
