or potential for actual harm
Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to have the results of the most recent
survey of the facility posted in a place readily available to residents, family members and legal
representatives for 1 of 1 survey results books.
Residents Affected - Many
The facility failed to ensure a binder placed on a table at the entrance of the facility and titled Survey
Results contained the results of the most recent full recertification survey.
This failure placed residents at risk of not having all the information necessary to make decisions about
living at the facility.
Findings included:
Observation on 03/29/24 at 12:50 PM revealed a white three-ring binder on a console table just inside the
entrance doors to the facility. The binder had Survey Results printed on the front. Within the binder were
results of State Agency surveys dating back to 2021, but the results from the most recent full recertification
survey, held from 02/06/24 to 02/08/24, were not present anywhere in the binder. The binder did contain a
Notice of Accepted Plan of Correction Form referencing the full recertification survey dated 02/08/24.

03/29/24 reflected the following: The plan of correction and/or evidence of compliance may be accepted as
determination of correction in lieu of conducting an on-site follow-up visit. A desk review may be performed.

not to have
been corrected, enforcement actions may be recommended. The notice was dated 03/20/24 and signed by

Level of Harm - Minimal harm
or potential for actual harm
During confidential interviews on 03/29/24 between 12:55 PM and 01:40 PM, four anonymous residents
stated they had
Residents Affected - Many
wondered what the results of State Agency investigations were and remembered that results were available
on the
table by the front doors. One resident stated s/he would like to have been able to see the results prior to
entering the
facility so s/he would know if the facility was a safe place to live. Another resident stated s/he felt the facility
was his/her
home and s/he should know what was happening in his/her home. S/he also stated s/he would want to
know if the same
problems were happening to others as were happening to him/her. S/he stated there were times when s/he
had an issue and
did not speak up about it, because s/he was afraid s/he was the only person with the problem. The other
two resident did
not elaborate but said it was important to them to have the survey results available for them or their family
members to
read.
During an interview on 03/29/24 at 02:30 PM, the ADM stated ensuring the survey results were available to
residents, family members, and visitors was his responsibility. He stated he had just started working at the
facility as the administrator two weeks prior and had already inquired about obtaining a copy of the survey
results from 02/08/24. He stated he thought he had requested the survey results the week prior, but he was
not certain which day he had made the request. The ADM stated the only potential negative outcome he
could imagine of the survey results not being available to residents was that residents might be more
outspoken about a problem they were having if they could see in writing that the problem was also a
problem for others in the facility and according to the regulations.
Review of facility policy dated 10/04/16 and titled Resident Rights reflected the following: Information and
Communication. You have the right to: . examine the results of the most recent survey of the facility
conducted by Federal or State surveyors, and any plan of correction in effect with respect to the facility.
