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

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

1. 01

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

4. 04

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

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts September 24, 2020; anything earlier is not in it.
