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

1. 1

   Protection From Abuse and Neglect, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F600 in November 2023 and August 2026. This citation covers whether residents are protected from abuse and neglect by anyone. 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.
