Summary
The facility failed to ensure that the results from the most recent recertification survey were readily available for residents to review. According to the facility's policy, the most recent survey should be posted in a location easily accessible to residents. However, during an observation near the nurses' station, the Survey Results folder was found to contain only survey results dated from the previous year, with no documentation of the most recent recertification survey. This was confirmed by the Director of Nursing, who acknowledged that the latest survey results were not present in the folder. This deficiency had the potential to affect all 56 residents currently residing in the facility.
