F 0575 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few Post a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all pertinent State agencies and advocacy groups and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency. Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to post the Health and Human Services Commission (HHHSC) complaint number and a statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency concerning any suspected violation of a state or federal regulation, including but not limited to resident abuse, neglect, exploitation, and misappropriation of property for 1 of 7 mandatory postings. The facility failed on 05/14/2025 to ensure the required posting (signage) of a HHSC complaint number and statement about how a resident may file a complaint with the State Survey agency. This failure placed residents at risk of being unaware of who and how to contact the State Survey Agency and their right to file a complaint with the State Service Agency concerning any suspected violation of state or federal regulation. The findings included: An observation throughout the facility on 05/14/25 at 10:40 AM, revealed there was no HHSC complaint number and statement that the residents may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency posted in any location of the facility.

She stated she did not know why there was no HHSC complaint number and statement that the resident may file a complaint with the State Survey Agency posted in the facility. Administrator stated it was important to have this signage posted so residents will know how to file a complaint regarding staff. The Administrator said the risk to the residents would be unreported abuse and neglect.
