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

   Citation F606, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F606 in February 2025 and April 2026. The agency describes it this way: Not hire anyone with a finding of abuse, neglect, exploitation, or theft. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

   Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F812 in January 2024 and February 2025. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. None rose above level E (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.

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

1. 01

   What changed after F606 was cited, and how do you check it now?

   Citation F606: cited in two inspections, most seriously at level E.

2. 02

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

3. 03

   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 January 17, 2024; anything earlier is not in it.
