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

   Accurate Assessments, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F641 in August 2021 and May 2026. This citation covers whether each resident’s assessment correctly records their condition.

4. 04

   How many nurses and aides are on each shift, including nights and weekends, for the unit we are considering?
