oriented residents, the DON explained they would verbally let them know, like when we are testing them,
we would explain they are being tested because they had a positive staff. When asked if notification to the
residents was being documented in any way, the DON stated it was not. The DON was asked to provide
evidence of the most current Robo-Call to the representatives and families, and what was said on the
recording.

beginning of the outbreak, but not with each positive case. Listening to the recording, the Administrator
announced that they have one new staff case and that they were now in outbreak status. The DON stated
they did not notify the residents and families with each of the positive COVID cases (staff and or residents)
that they had with the previous Delta variant outbreak in August of 2021.
