Severity levels follow the CMS scope and severity grid. A–C: potential for minimal harm. D–F: no actual harm, potential for more than minimal harm. G–I: actual harm. J–L: immediate jeopardy.

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

1. 1

This citation covers whether suspected abuse, neglect or theft is reported to the authorities on time, with the results of the home’s investigation.

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

1. 01

   How are staff trained to report suspected abuse or neglect, and who reports it to the state?

   Reporting Suspected Abuse: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   May we try a meal, and how do you check food temperature by the time it reaches residents?

   Food Quality and Temperature: 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 E.

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.

   Has the home been fined or had payments denied before this record begins?

   CMS lists no fines or payment denials in this window. The record starts September 25, 2023; anything earlier is not in it.
