Resident Assessment and Care Planning
Assess the resident completely in a timely manner when first admitted, and then periodically, at least every 12 months.
A citation on its own does not mean poor care, and most are corrected within weeks. What matters most is how serious the findings were and whether the same problems keep coming back. When you visit, it is fair to ask the administrator what inspectors found and what has changed since.
