During an interview on 7/30/25, at 9:15 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator (NHA) stated that all new admissions sign the Arbitration Agreement with their admission packet and Everyone signs it.

During an interview on 7/30/25, at 9:20 a.m. the NHA confirmed the facility failed to ensure a resident had the capacity to understand the terms of a binding arbitration agreement for one of three residents (Resident R14). 28 Pa.
