Based on observations, resident and staff interviews and policy review, facility failed to ensure the survey
results binder was easily accessible to all residents. This had the potential to affect all facility residents.
Facility census was 71. Findings include Observation on 09/25/25 at 11:34 A.M. revealed the survey book
was located in the front hallway between the administration offices and the staff and visitor bathrooms. It
was sitting in a folder shelf and the binder was bolted to the wall. The shelf sat about chest high on the wall
and was pointed upward requiring a person to lift the binder up and out of the shelf which would be difficult
for a resident sitting lower to the ground in a wheelchair. The chain was about 18-24 inches long and would
not allow a resident to review the binder without standing in the hallway up against the wall. Interview on
09/25/25 at 2:00 P.M. with Director of Nursing revealed she did not know why the binder was chained to the
wall and stated likely so residents would walk away with it or take it to their rooms. The Director of Nursing
acknowledged it would be difficult for residents to get the binder and have to stand and read it in the hall.
Interview on 09/25/25 at 2:15 P.M. with Regional Nurse #300 revealed she was unsure why the binder
would be chained up in the front hallway. Review of facility policy titled Resident Rights dated 06/01/24,

correction with respect of the facility.
