Voting rights were not maintained/promoted by the facility for 9 of 9 residents attending the group meeting (R10, R18, R27, R41, R56, R63, R64, R72, and R74) and 1 additional sampled resident (R43.) Findings include: 1. A group interview was conducted on 06/19/12 at 2:00pm with 9 residents whom the facility identified as alert, oriented, and credible historians. Interview with the group revealed 9 of the 9 residents wanted to vote; however, the facility had not assisted them with voter registration, making arrangements for transportation to the polls, or obtaining absentee ballots. 2. An individual interview was conducted with R43 on 06/19/12 at 12:35pm. The resident stated, I'm looking forward, to the coming presidential election. He indicated he was registered to vote and revealed he voted in every presidential election since he was old enough to vote. Review of the Recreation History and Assessment Long Stay form dated 06/24/11 for R43 revealed the Activities Director (AD) identified R43 as a Registered Voter. An interview with the Social Services Director (SSD) on 06/21/12 at 4:30pm revealed the facility had no system in place to get the voter information from the AD to the SSD. Interview on 06/21/12 at 3:30pm with the Social Services Director (SSD) revealed she obtained absentee ballots for any residents who asked for them, but did not have a system to assure that all residents who were capable and interested were informed of their right to vote and provided with assistance as needed. Further interview with the SSD on 06/21/12 at 4:30pm revealed she had discussed voting in resident council meetings, and information about voting should be included in the minutes of the meetings. Review of all Resident Council meeting minutes for 2012 revealed the topic of assistance with voting had not been discussed.	2016-06-01
