Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F569 in June 2022 and October 2023. The agency describes it this way: Notify each resident of certain balances and convey resident funds upon discharge, eviction, or death. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F644 in June 2022 and October 2023. This citation covers whether assessments are coordinated with the state’s pre-admission screening for mental illness and intellectual disability (PASARR), and referrals made. 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.
Inspectors cited F689 in June 2022 and October 2023. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F880 in October 2023 and May 2026. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. The most serious of these was recorded at level L (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.

Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level L.
How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?

A $22,925 civil money penalty was imposed December 29, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
