Summary
The facility failed to post the most recent survey results in an accessible location for residents to review. During interviews with four resident council members and the council president, all stated they were unaware of any posted survey results available for their viewing. Observations by surveyors confirmed that the survey results binder was not easily visible, as it was found in a metal and wicker rack on the floor beside a table near the entrance. Additionally, the binder contained outdated survey results from several months prior, rather than the most recent recertification survey. The Administrator acknowledged that the binder had not been updated and admitted to forgetting about it.
