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 long do residents usually wait for help with bathing, dressing or the bathroom, and how is that tracked?

   Help With Daily Living: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level D.

2. 02

   How do nurses make sure a doctor’s orders are carried out, and how are families told when something is missed?

   Quality of Care: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level G.

3. 03

   May we see the kitchen, and what do your own sanitation checks look like week to week?

   Kitchen and Food Safety: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level F.

4. 04

   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 F.

5. 05

   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.

6. 06

   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 May 23, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.
