1. 1

   Dignity and Resident Rights, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F550 in June 2021 and July 2024. This citation covers residents’ right to dignity, to make their own choices and to communicate. 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.

   18212425F550 across all 4 inspections, oldest to newest

1. 01

   How do staff learn each resident’s preferences, and how is a complaint about dignity handled?

   Dignity and Resident Rights: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

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 September 2018.

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 25, 2018; anything earlier is not in it.
