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

1. 1

   Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Three Inspections

   Inspectors cited F689 in January 2024, March 2025 and June 2025. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. 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.

   Continence and Catheter Care, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F690 in January 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers continence care, catheter care and preventing urinary tract infections.

   Infection Control, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F880 in January 2024 and March 2025. This citation covers hand hygiene, isolation practice and the home’s infection-prevention program. 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.

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

1. 01

   What changed in fall prevention and supervision after the last citation, and how do you check that it is still working?

   Accident Hazards and Supervision: cited in three inspections, most seriously at level G.

2. 02

   How is continence care scheduled, and how do you prevent urinary infections?

   Continence and Catheter Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

   Who leads infection control here, and how often are hand-hygiene and isolation practices audited?

   Infection Control: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level K.

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.

5. 05

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

   A $9,110 civil money penalty was imposed June 26, 2025. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid. The record holds two enforcement actions in the window.

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