What F676 requires

F676 corresponds to the federal standard: Ensure residents do not lose the ability to perform activities of daily living unless there is a medical reason.. When a surveyor finds that a facility is not meeting this standard, they cite the tag and assign a scope/severity letter (A–L) describing how widespread the issue is and how much harm it caused.

Severity distribution

  • Level 4 — Immediate jeopardy 1
  • Level 3 — Actual harm 17
  • Level 2 — No actual harm, potential for more than minimal 1,551
  • Level 1 — Potential for minimal harm 1

Methodology F676 counts reflect publicly-filed deficiency findings from state survey teams working under federal contract. A citation is not a court judgment or admission of wrongdoing. Facilities may contest findings through Informal Dispute Resolution (IDR/IIDR).

An attorney who focuses on nursing-home abuse and neglect can review the facility's record with you — citation patterns, scope/severity levels, complaint-driven findings — and tell you whether the law recognizes what happened.
