Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

   Infection Control, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in March 2022, May 2024 and November 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

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 three inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   How often are residents checked for pressure injuries and repositioned, and who is responsible for it?

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

3. 03

   May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

   Kitchen and Food Safety: 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

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts March 22, 2022; anything earlier is not in it.
