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

1. 1

   Care Plans, No Recorded Correction

   F656 was cited in June 2024, August 2025 and July 2026. This citation covers whether each resident has a written care plan that meets their needs, with goals that can be measured. The most serious was level D (no actual harm, potential for more). The July 2026 citation has no recorded correction date; its status reads “Deficient, Provider has no plan of correction.” The record does not show whether the problem was fixed.

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

1. 01

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D. The July 15, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

2. 02

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

   Insufficient nursing staff was cited in June 2024.

3. 03

   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 September 13, 2022; anything earlier is not in it.
