Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F584 in May 2025 and June 2026. This citation covers whether rooms and shared spaces are kept safe, clean, comfortable and homelike. 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.
Inspectors cited F684 in November 2023 and April 2024. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. 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.
F607 was cited in June 2026 and August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more).
