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

1. 1

   Accident Hazards and Supervision, Cited in Four Inspections

   Inspectors cited F689 in March 2022, September 2022, April 2023 and June 2024. This citation covers whether residents are protected from accident hazards and supervised closely enough to prevent accidents, including falls. The most serious of these was recorded at level G (actual harm). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
