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

   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 are a resident’s advance directive and treatment wishes recorded and shared with every shift?

   Treatment Choices and Advance Directives: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   How long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

   Help With Daily Living: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

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

   What led to the 2024 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $20,678 civil money penalty was imposed March 19, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Ohio state survey agency.
