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

1. 1

   Accurate Assessments, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F641 in May 2024 and May 2025. This citation covers whether each resident’s assessment correctly records their condition. 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.

   Who completes resident assessments, and how are they checked for accuracy?

   Accurate Assessments: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

   Insufficient nursing staff was cited in May 2025.

3. 03
