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.

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

1. 1

   Quality of Care, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F684 in December 2024 and December 2025. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. The most serious of these was recorded at level J (immediate jeopardy). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

2. 2

   Citation F838, No Recorded Correction

   F838 was cited in August 2026. The agency describes it this way: Conduct and document a facility-wide assessment to determine what resources are necessary to care for residents competently during both day-to-day operations (including nights and weekends) and emergencies.

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

1. 01

   How do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?

   Quality of Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level J.

2. 02

   What changed after F838 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F838: cited in one inspections, most seriously at level C. The August 20, 2026 citation has no recorded correction date.

3. 03

   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.

4. 04

   What led to the 2025 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $15,548 civil money penalty was imposed April 3, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.
