Residents Affected - Some Findings: Review of facility policy, Resident Council, dated 2/18/25, indicated A Resident Council Response Form will be utilized to track issues and their resolution. The facility department related to any issues will be responsible for addressing the item(s) of concern. The Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement (QAPI) Committee will review information and feedback from Resident Council as part of their quality review. Issues documented on council response forms may be referred to the QAPI Committee, if applicable (i.e., the issue is of serious nature or if there is a pattern, etc.).
