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

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

1. 01

   How is a care plan written and reviewed here, and how do families take part in it?

   Care Plans: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   Who manages oxygen and breathing treatments on each shift, and how is the equipment checked?

   Respiratory Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

3. 03

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 2023 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $7,582 civil money penalty was imposed November 3, 2023. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
