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

1. 1

   Investigating Alleged Violations, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F610 in May 2025 and May 2026. This citation covers how the home responds to and investigates an allegation of abuse, neglect or mistreatment. 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.
