Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F690 in May 2022, November 2023 and December 2025. This citation covers continence care, catheter care and preventing urinary tract infections. 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.
For Your Next Visit
Bring these to the tour. Each one comes from something in the record; the reason is under the question.
How is continence care scheduled, and how do you prevent urinary infections?
Continence and Catheter Care: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level D.
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.
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 May 13, 2022; anything earlier is not in it.
