The only contacts listed for him were his guardian (Bill to, Responsible Party, and Emergency Contact #1) with two phone numbers, a fax number, and an email address, and himself.

Record review of Resident #1's care plan dated 07/19/17 reflected he had a seizure disorder, potential for mood problem, was resistive to care, displayed verbal behaviors, had a communication problem and unclear speech related to diagnoses of bipolar disorder, psychosis, and history of stroke.

(See instructions.) Except for nursing homes, the findings stated above are disclosable 90 days following the date of survey whether or not a plan of correction is provided. For nursing homes, the above findings and plans of correction are disclosable 14 days following the date these documents are made available to the facility. If deficiencies are cited, an approved plan of correction is requisite to continued program participation.
