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

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

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

2. 02

   How are medications stored and secured, and who checks the medication carts?

   Medication Labeling and Storage: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

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 D.

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 2026 fine, and has it been paid?

   A $22,073 civil money penalty was imposed May 20, 2026. CMS publishes the fine, not whether it has been paid.
