Emergency Preparedness Deficiency Due to Missing Contact Information
Summary
The facility was found to be non-compliant with emergency preparedness requirements during a recertification survey. Specifically, the deficiency was identified in the facility's Emergency Preparedness Program, where the Communications Program lacked documented contact information for physicians, federal emergency preparedness officials, and the Office of the Long-Term Care Ombudsman. This oversight could potentially affect all residents at the facility. The deficiency was confirmed during an interview with the administrator, who acknowledged the absence of the required contact information in the emergency plan.
