What to ask a facility about a F568 citation

  1. What exactly did the surveyor find, and on what date? The report card shows the date and the severity letter.
  2. What was the plan of correction, and was it accepted by the state on the first submission?
  3. Has the same tag been cited in more than one cycle? Repeat citations matter more than a single one.
  4. If the letter was G or higher: what happened to the resident, and what changed in staffing or process?

Frequently asked questions

What is F568 in a nursing home inspection?
F568 is the CMS F-tag for the requirement "Properly hold, secure, and manage each resident's personal money which is deposited with the nursing home." (Resident rights). Surveyors cite it when a facility is found out of compliance with that regulation during a standard survey or complaint investigation.
How common is F568?
F568 was cited 522 times at 481 facilities (3% of rated nursing homes) in the last three inspection cycles, ranking #106 of 242 tags. 0 of those citations involved actual harm or immediate jeopardy.
Does a F568 citation mean the facility is unsafe?
Not on its own. Read the scope and severity letter: D through F means no actual harm was found, G through I means a resident was harmed, and J through L means immediate jeopardy. Ask the facility what was cited, what was corrected, and when.
