Context
A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.
Inspectors cited F684 in January 2024, August 2025 and May 2026. This citation covers whether residents receive the treatment their orders, preferences and goals call for. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F947 in October 2023, September 2024 and August 2025. The agency describes it this way: Ensure nurse aides have the skills they need to care for residents, and give nurse aides education in dementia care and abuse prevention. 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.

None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
Inspectors cited F637 in October 2023 and August 2025. The agency describes it this way: Assess the resident when there is a significant change in condition.

Inspectors cited F686 in May 2026 and June 2026. This citation covers how the home prevents and treats pressure injuries (bedsores). The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
