Findings include: The resident council interview was done on the afternoon of 10/25/17. The resident representative identified a staff member as the Ombudsman and was not aware the State Agency could be contacted for complaints. Inquired where the posting is located, the representative pointed to the side of nursing station, stating there is a bulletin board located there with the information. Observation found there is no bulletin board for the residents outside of the nurses' station. Further observation found two bulletin boards, one located on the wall outside of the Weinberg Family room and a second bulletin board on a wall outside of the social services office. The information for the telephone number and address of the State Agency was printed on an 8-1/2 by 11 inch paper and tacked on the second row of the information posting. The print and placement were noted to make it difficult for a resident seated in a wheelchair to review. On 10/25/17 at 4:00 P.M. concurrent observation and interview was conducted with Staff Member #324. Staff Member #324 confirmed there are two bulletin boards in the entire facility. The staff member confirmed the information posted on both boards would be too high for residents in wheelchairs to view the information. The staff member also acknowledged the print was small which would be difficult for residents with visual impairment and/or seated in the wheelchair to read.	2020-09-01
