Residents Affected - Few
Interview on April 23, 2019, at 11:35 a.m. with the Administrator revealed that he had spoken to the
corporate office and that Employee E10 was doing clerical work, and not assessments and therefore she
did not need to be licensed. After further discussion about how Employee E10 had signed Section Z0400
for multiple residents' assessments in multiple sections of these assessments, he said that he could not get
the license or speak to Employee E10 as it was the middle of the night in her country. He also
acknowledged that she had completed the assessment portion of the above MDS's and stated that he did
not have a copy of her license.
A telephone interview was conducted at 11:50 a.m. with Employee E13, RNAC who was working remotely
from home. The interview revealed that Employee E10 does complete some sections of the MDS, and that
as the RNAC she signs section Z0500 verifying that the MDS was completed accurately.
