Summary
The facility failed to post the required contact information for Adult Protective Services (APS) in areas accessible to residents and their representatives. Observations conducted on multiple nursing units and the main lobby revealed that the APS agency name, address, email, and phone number were not posted or accessible. This was confirmed by both a social worker and the Nursing Home Administrator during staff interviews. The deficiency was cited under 28 Pa. Code: 201.14(a) and 28 Pa. Code: 201.18(e), which require the posting of such information for resident awareness and access.
