What providers tell us about this citation
Based on community experience, not official guidance.
29 California RCFEs were cited for incomplete medical assessment records, with 13 citations in Los Angeles County alone. LPAs pull a sample of resident files during every inspection. Review each file for the Section 87458 assessment and special precautions before your next annual visit. A 30-minute audit now prevents a Type B citation that families can see on your public record.
