Based on review of facility policy, observations, and resident and staff interviews, it was determined that the facility failed to make accessible grievance boxes to residents in three of three locations where grievances boxes are located (main lobby, north and south nursing units). Findings include: A review of the facility policy Grievances/Complaints, Filing reviewed 1/16/25, grievances and/or complaints may be submitted orally or in writing and may be filed anonymously. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) does not specify exact height requirements for grievance boxes in skilled nursing facilities. However, CMS mandates that grievance procedures be accessible to all residents, including those with disabilities, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). In Pennsylvania, the Department of Health incorporates by reference the federal requirements outlined in 42 CFR Part 483, Subpart B, which pertains to long-term care facilities. These regulations emphasize the importance of accessibility but do not provide additional specifications regarding grievance box placement. To ensure accessibility, the ADA Standards for Accessible Design recommend that operable parts, such as slots on grievance boxes, be mounted between 15 and 48 inches above the floor. This range accommodates individuals using wheelchairs and ensures usability for a broad range of residents. During a resident group interview, on 2/11/26 at approximately 11:30 a.m., when asked if they felt they could anonymously file a grievance in the grievance boxes, consensus from the group was no. Residents stated, there a couple of boxes they are too high to reach, they are not made for people in wheelchairs, the boxes are in view of the staff, and you have to ask someone to help you, so we just ask the staff to do it for us. During an observation and interview on 2/12/26, at 9:00 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator and surveyor measured the height of the grievance boxes; the lobby height was 54 inches, north nursing unit box height was 53 inches, and south nursing unit box, height was 57 inches. The box in the lobby was in view of the reception desk and blocked by a chair, the north nursing unit box was in view of the nursing station, and the south nursing unit box was blocked by a cart with a cooler in front of it and the box is in view of the nursing station. During an interview on 2/12/26, at 9:00 a.m. the Nursing Home Administrator confirmed the facility failed to make accessible grievance boxes to residents. 28 PA Code: 201.18(e)(4) Management.28 PA Code: 201.29(a)(b)(c) Resident rights.
