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

1. 1

   Infection Control, Cited in Four Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in February 2024, April 2025, September 2025 and June 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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

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

   Infection Control: cited in four inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   What changed after F851 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F851: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

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.

5. 05

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

   A $5,434 civil money penalty was imposed April 2, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.
