Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F600 in January 2025 and September 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F623 in June 2023 and January 2025. This citation covers notice to the resident, their representative and the ombudsman before a transfer or discharge, including appeal rights. None rose above level B (potential for minimal harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F925 in January 2025 and September 2025. The agency describes it this way: Make sure there is a pest control program to prevent/deal with mice, insects, or other pests. 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.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
What happened after the abuse or neglect citation, and what changed in training or supervision?
Protection From Abuse and Neglect: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.
When do you transfer or discharge a resident, and how much notice do families get?
Notice Before Transfer or Discharge: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level B.
What changed after F925 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation F925: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.
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.
What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?
A $28,243 civil money penalty was imposed September 30, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds five enforcement actions in the window.
