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 May 2024 and January 2026. 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.
