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

1. 1

   Citation F582, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F582 in August 2024 and August 2025. The agency describes it this way: Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.

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

1. 01

   What changed after F582 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F582: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   When an allegation is made, who investigates it, and how are residents protected in the meantime?

   Investigating Alleged Violations: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

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

4. 04

   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 March 18, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.

Inspection results and penalties are published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services from surveys conducted by the Pennsylvania state survey agency.
