Based on observation, resident, family and staff interview, the facility failed to post most recent survey results in a readily accessible place, and failed to post a notice of the availability of facility surveys and complaint investigations for the previous 3 years during 5 of 5 days of the survey. The findings were: 1. Observation from 7/10/17 to 7/14/17 showed there was a wall-mounted display with a binder labeled survey behind the receptionist desk across from the facility entrance which contained the (YEAR) Form CMS-2567 survey results and plan of correction. Accessing the survey binder required going behind the receptionist desk. There was no notice posted to indicate the availability of the facility surveys and complaint investigations for the preceding three years. 2. Interview on 7/11/17 at 2 PM with a group of residents revealed 7 of 8 residents could not state where the survey results were located. 3. Interview with a resident's family member on 7/14/17 at 10:30 AM revealed s/he was not aware survey results were available to inspect and could not identify where the survey binder was located. Further, the resident had been living at the facility for two years. 4. Interview with the administrator on 7/14/17 at 10:54 AM confirmed the facility had failed to prominently post a notice regarding the availability of facility surveys and complaint investigations for the preceding three years. Further, she revealed the binder had been moved from its previous location, and confirmed it was not available to visitors or residents in its current location. |
