1. 1

   Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F657 in July 2019 and April 2022. This citation covers whether care plans are written on time and revised by a team that includes the resident’s caregivers. 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.

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

1. 01

   How often are care plans revised, and who takes part in the review?

   Care Plan Timing and Review: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

   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.

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 July 11, 2019; anything earlier is not in it.
