A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

1. 1

   Care Plan Timing and Review, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F657 in May 2024 and July 2025. This citation covers whether care plans are written on time and revised by a team that includes the resident’s caregivers.
