Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.
Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F607 in February 2024 and March 2026. The agency describes it this way: Develop and implement policies and procedures to prevent abuse, neglect, and theft. The most serious of these was recorded at level K (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.
What changed after F607 was cited, and how do you check it now?
Citation F607: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level K.
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.
What led to the 2024 fine, and has it been paid?
A $4,632 civil money penalty was imposed February 16, 2024. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds three enforcement actions in the window.
