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

1. 1

   Reporting Suspected Abuse, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F609 in March 2022 and January 2024. This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation. 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.

   Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in March 2022 and June 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program.

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

1. 01

   How are staff trained to report suspected abuse or neglect, and who reports it to the state?

   Reporting Suspected Abuse: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

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

   Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

3. 03

   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.

4. 04

   What led to the 2024 denial of payment, and what would you want a family to know about it?

   Denial of payment was imposed January 25, 2024; it ended May 2, 2024.
