2015	GOOD SAMARITAN SOCIETY - VALENTINE	285176	601 WEST 4TH STREET	VALENTINE	NE	69201	2017-03-30	167	C	0	1	02OK11	Licensure Reference Number: 175 NAC 12-004.08 Based on interviews and observations, the facility failed to display survey inspection results (a legal document describing facility violations of state and/or federal regulations) in a manner that was accessible and identifiable for residents and/or resident representatives. The failure could prevent all residents from access to the records. Facility census was 37. Findings are: Interview with Resident 21 on 3/28/17 at 9:55 a.m. revealed Resident 21 attended Resident Council meetings. During the discussion of the resident council, Resident 21 was asked if the facility informed residents about accessing the survey inspection results, and whether or not the resident was aware where the results were located and if the resident could access the reports without assistance. Resident 21 answered not being aware of where the survey results were kept. Observations on 3/29/17 at 8:30 a.m., 3/29/17 at 12:30 p.m., and 3/30/17 at 8:35 a.m. revealed a red three-ring binder with a label attached to the spine reading: Current Survey Results was atop a call light system box attached to the wall at the entry of the dining room. The font on the label measured 1/2 inch and was obstructed by a microphone cord. The binder was placed atop the call light system box and was 65 inches above the floor. Interview with the Administrator on 3/30/17 at 8:35 a.m. verified the red three-ring binder atop the call light system box by the entry of the dining room contained the survey inspection results. The Administrator confirmed the binder was not accessible to residents in wheelchairs and was not easily identified due to the position of the binder and the obstructed label from the microphone cord.	2020-09-01
