The citation comes with a $5,000 fine and a plan to correct the problems by Sept. 19.
The facility is also under fire again for instrument cleaning practices.
The investigation found employees were exposed to violent behavior by patients and visitors that resulted in verbal threats, bites and assaults to staff.
